Whether you want to watch the dancing ritual of the Blue Footed Booby or see one of Darwins famous and rare finches, the wonders of the birds in the Galapagos will take your breath away. It is an absolute must expedition for every real “Twitcher” to see these rare birds in their natural habitat.”
– Cruising To The Galapagos
The Brown Pelican breeds throughout the year and feeds by plunge-diving into the water to capture fish in its large pouch underneath the bill.
The Blue-footed Booby – Have you ever seen birds dance? Well the famous Galapagos Blue Footed Boobies do! They have an elaborate mating ritual and the best part is when the males high step around the female to show off their large blue feet!
The Swallow Tailed Gull is the only nocturnal gull in the world is unique as it feeds only at night. They spend most of their lives feeding on the open ocean returning to land only for breeding.
The Galapagos Hawk is the largest land bird in the Galapagos Archipelago, and is found only on the Galapagos Islands. It is a top predator, being on the top of the food chain. They have no predators and hunt other animals for food. They are not afraid of humans and the young Galapagos Hawks are actually quite curious when it comes to their interaction with humans.
The Mangrove Finch is one of the 14 species of finches discovered by Darwin on his expedition. It is one of the world’s rarest birds. And also one of the most endangered birds on the islands.
The Magnificent Frigatebird is a sight to behold! Quite large, but lightly built seabird with brownish-black plumage, long narrow wings and a deeply forked tail. The male has a striking red throat sac which he inflates in order to attract a mate. The female is slightly larger than the male and has a white breast and belly as can be seen in this shot of a mating pair.
