Red-footed Booby — Another red-footed booby calmly hangs out in a tree, as cameras go off all around him.
Red-footed Booby — Caught in the act of preening!
Galapagos Mockingbird — Atop Prince Philip's Steps on Isla Genovesa, Javier, our guide, borrows Erin's water bottle and shakes it around a few times: the sound attracts a mockingbird, so desperate for water this late in the year, it actually lands right on his hand to beg for it. (Sadly, his request had to go unfulfilled.)

Blue-footed Boobies — The sanitation around here leaves a little something to be desired.
Sea Lion and Diving Booby — A young sea lion on Isla Rabida watches longingly as a blue-footed booby dives into the ocean for his meal.
Integration — Blue-footed boobies, red-footed boobies, and Galapagos Penguins all hanging out on the same rock at Tagus Cove. Why can't we all just get along like them?
