    Seeing Denise's and Artie's posts from Galapagos makes me want to go back. This one is from South Plaza Island in early May. C&C appreciated.

    Cute little guy, it looks as if he is trying to hide. Maybe a bit more room at the top?

    Cute little one Bill, I think the sharpness and details look good. Looks like he's hiding out. I watched as a Frigatebird tried to attack a chick but the parents kept it well hidden. It was sp difficult to watch.
