  • Flightless Cormorants (Phalacrocorax harrisi) Nesting<br />
Isabela Island. Western Isles of Galapagos Islands<br />
ECUADOR.  South America<br />
These are the largest of the world's 29 cormorant species and the only one that has lost the power of flight. They live very locally to the shores of Isabela and Fernandina Islands and although they can not fly still retain vestigial wings which help them to balance when jumping from rock to rock. As they do not produce much oil to waterproof their wings they must dry out their wings when they return to shore. Nests are constructed of seaweed, flotsam and jetsam and are never more than a few meters from shore. Usually up to 3 eggs are layed.<br />
ENDEMIC TO GALAPAGOS

  • Blue-footed booby courtship (Sula nebouxii excisa)<br />
Punta Cevallos, Española or Hood Island Island<br />
GALAPAGOS ISLANDS<br />
ECUADOR.  South America<br />
By far the least common of the three booby species in Galapagos but the Blue-footed boobies are the most commanly seen as their small colonies are spread throughout the archipelago. They nest close to shore on flat areas. The nests are relatively closely spaced, but consist of nothing more than a shallow scrape in the ground. They have less than an annual breeding cycle and different colonies can be found breeding around the archipelago throughout the year. Their courtship antics are entertaining. In trying to attract a mate the male actually dances. If a female is attracted to him she will join him and together they will dance the 'booby two step'. Sexes are differentiated by the eyes. Males appear to have smaller pupils than females. (females have a darkly stained iris giving the impression of a larger pupil) The female is also larger and her voice is distinct - a honk while the male whistles. They are inshore feeders and are able to dive in shallow water. As they feed close to shore it is feasible for the parent birds to return with food sufficient for three chicks so in a good year they may raise up to three.

  • Waved Albatross pair (Phoebastria irrorata) change over for egg incubating<br />
Punta Cevallos, Española Island, GALAPAGOS ISLANDS<br />
ECUADOR.  South America<br />
ENDEMIC TO GALAPAGOS. <br />
CRITICALLY ENDANGERED<br />
However a few pairs nest on Isla de la Plata near the Ecuadorian mainland. +-12,000 pairs breed on the Island of Española in Galapagos. They only come ashore between April and December to breed, otherwise they spend their entire life at sea. Once an albatross chick fledges and goes to sea it will remain there until it is 4 years old before returning to land to breed for the first time. Albatross mate for life and live about 40 years. They form part of the family of tube-nosed birds.

  • Imperial Cormorant or King Shag or King Cormorant (Phalacrocorax atriceps albiventer)<br />
Steeple Jason Island. FALKLAND ISLANDS.<br />
RANGE: Coasts of South America, Subantarctic Islands, Antarctic Peninsula<br />
They usually breed in closely packed colonies often associated with Rockhopper Penguins and Black-browed Albatross on flat cliff top sites. The nest is a column of mud, tussock grass and algae. 2 - 4 eggs are layed. They feed offshore, often in flocks pursuing feed, usually small schooling fish.<br />
<br />
The Jasons (Grand and Steeple) are a chain of islands 40 miles (64km) north and west off West Falkland towards Patagonia. Steeple is 6 by 1 mile (10Km by 1.6km) in size. From the coast the land rises steeply to a rocky ridge running along the length. <br />
This island has the largest Black-browed Albatross colony in the world with 113,000. The island is owned by WCS (Wildlife Conservation Society)
