Here are some pictures I took in the Galapagos about fifteen years ago.
Albatross taking off. They sort of throw themselves off a cliff and wait for an up-current to take them aloft.
Bluefoot Booby male dancing to attract a mate.
Bluefoot Booby incubating eggs on a "nest" (hey, you use the materials you've got).
Flamingos
Galapagos Flightless Cormorant. They sort of use their vestigial wings like penguins, as paddles when they're diving. I had inadvertently set some weird blue filter on the camera. Took me a while to figure out how to turn it off.
I have some more I'll post later.

I see all this but cannot see any fotos..
I saw the photos last night. This morning they are not showing. I guess the server switch had something to do with it.
Yup, server problem, already being investigated.

Some of the more interesting wildlife I saw on my recent cruise:
Not 100% sure what species this is. This was a beach in Acapulco, if that makes it any easier to identify. I think it's a short billed Dowitcher, but I dunno.

Masked booby in flight:

Brown booby:

Anyone know what kind of lizard this is? (Taken on the beach in Aruba.)
