This daddy Blue Footed Boobie was rolling over the eggs in the nest (yes it really is very shallow–and was on a slope to boot!)
Galapagos–Father’s Day
Galapagos-Blue Footed Boobie
This female was hanging out on the tiny ledge. Males have tiny iris and females big round ones.
Galapagos-Marine Iguanas
The terrain was all black lava rock/flows. We didn’t even see marine iguanas they blended in so well until we were almost stepping on them. They wouldn’t even move. Look at the mountain of lizards. They iguanas hold their breath, go under water and feed on the vegetation on corals. When they come up they “sneeze” out the salt they ingested.
Galapagos–Yoga Sea Lions
Sea Lions necks are different allowing them to 180 degree put their heads backward.
Ahhh-tha hits the spot!
Galapagos Sea lion
Galapagos sea lions (they have no seals) are different from the california version with their ears…
Galapagos Blue Footed Boobie
The males do a dance where they show their feet. The darker blue the more handsome they are as it indicates good health.

SURVEY-PLEASE give me your feedback
I know this is mainly the Sequim Daily Photo site about the Olympic Peninsula… But I have a lot more Galapagos photos I could share. So please vote for one of the following three options by commenting on this post:
- Finish out this month with Galapagos Photos then return to Peninsula photos
- Get back to the Peninsula photos now and show Wildlife Wed or Faraway Friday travel photos throughout the year.
THANKS for your feedback
