The Frigate birds are named after the pirates that sailed frigate ships. About 1/3 of the food frigate birds eat they get by stealing. This male, below, is puffing out his throat patch trying to attract a mate to the nesting site has is sitting on. N. Seymore Is. Galapagos 18 Jul 09

These sea lion pups were playing with each other. The littlest one might be a month old. The guide thought the older one was maybe 6 months to a year old – definitely was another pup on the beach, not the mother. N. Seymore Is. Galapagos 18 Jul 09

Blue-Footed Booby A woman asked our guide once why the birds prefer the white-coated rocks! N. Seymore Is. Galapagos 18 Jul 09

Marine Iguana are brownish-black. The Galapagos is the only place where iguanas go in the water. Instead of round tails, their tails are blade-shaped to act like fins. This picture is on a cliff edge 20 feet above the water. They are great climbers. N. Seymore Is. Galapagos 18 Jul 09

Swallow-tailed gulls have the sharp V shaped tail, just like barn swallows in the US. N. Seymore Is. Galapagos 18 Jul 09
