Isabela Island, Galapagos Islands<br />
ECUADOR.  South America<br />
This is the only penguin to nest entirely within the tropics and in the case of those living on the northern tip of Isabela Island, the only penguins found in the northern hemisphere. They are the third smallest penguin in the world. They live in lava tubes and natural caves and crevices. The females lay one or two eggs and can breed more than once a year if conditions are optimal.<br />

  • Flightless Cormorant (Phalacrocorax harrisi) and Lava Cactus (Brachycereus nesioticus)<br />
Fernandina 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 />

  • Brown Pelican in the street (Pelecanus occidentalis urinator)<br />
Puerta Ayora, Santa Cruz Island, GALAPAGOS ISLANDS<br />
ECUADOR.  South America<br />
These birds are relatives of the frigate birds. However they use their pouches for trapping water and with luck some fish. Brown pelicans are the smallest of the family and the only pelicans which are truly marine and also together with the Peruvian pelicans that plunge-dive to catch their food. They nest in scattered colonies throughout the archipelago. Breeding occurs in any month, although particular colonies are synchronised.
