Genovesa offers some of the best possibilities for observing the fabulous bird wildlife of the archipelago. Today, hundreds of birds were seen all over the island. Flying or perching, every one of these creatures let us be part of its own private world. One of the biggest red-footed booby "booberies" is found here.
In addition, Nazca boobies (formerly known as masked boobies) were courting and some of them breeding, and swallow-tailed gulls were nesting, some with chicks. Also, we observed most of the male great frigatebirds with the red gular pouches inflated and many others already nesting. Finches, doves, mockingbirds completed the set of birds. This morning we had a high tide and part of the trail was underwater, which increased the beauty of this site.
In today's picture we can admire the splendor of the natural setting all these birds have. All of us, naturalists and visitors, were again captured by the magic of the island of the birds!
