More Bird Photos

Here are some more bird photos. This shows part of why I enjoyed the birds and the Galapagos so much.

In the first photo, I was standing very close and watching this night heron. All of a sudden, a crab walked up the rock below the heron. I said, “Oh, look at the crab,” and the night heron did and grabbed it with his beak, second photo. 

The flamingoes were nice, but after seeing about one million of them in a lake in Africa, this wasn’t so spectacular.

But I did like watching the flamingoes feed. They walk and dig through the mud with their beaks, backwards as they walk. It leaves a trail in the mud like a jet leaves a contrail in the sky. Flamingo art.
