Two male blue footed boobies having a stand off in the Galapagos. Animals generally were not afraid of humans and paid us no mind.

duck duck MERGANZER!
These adorable merganzer chicks were having trouble keeping up with their mom.
Rest my tail feathers
One of my resident baldy’s came down to rest on the piling in front of my house. He’d been in a 20 minute tussle with several gulls that were pulling at his tail feathers. It always amazes me to see this because eagles routinely EAT GULLS.
My motto is don’t poke the bear…but it seems these gulls had had enough!
Faraway Friday- King
I shot this photo of a Kingfisher in the Amazon. He is very similar to ours, just a little tweak in the coloring, but just as fast!
Happy New Year-2024!
This lil baby Frigate is wishing you all a TERRIFIC New Year!
Wildlife Wednesday-Galapagos
Blue footed Boobie and chick. Their “nest” cracks me up. It’s a 3″ divot in the dirt. At least this nest was on level ground. We saw many nests on a slope where when the moved the egg it could easily roll down the hill….
A Pod of Pelicans
There were HUNDREDS of Pelicans at the beach. I’ve never seen so many at beach after beach this summer. Something tasty must have been passing thru the waters.
