Galapagos Islands

I love birds, and one of my favorites are on this island. They are called Waved Albatross. They have to use a runway to take off just like a plane, since they are very awkward on land, but perfect and graceful in the sky. They have long wingspans and can live a long time in the air.
They do come to the  island to mate, and have elaborate beak fighting (or beak dancing if you prefer) as part of their courtship ritual to see if they are compatible, or to renew their bond each year. Once they find their mate they will stay with them until they die.

Another beautiful bird is the Blue Footed Boobie. These also beautiful.

There are also hawks, penguins, finches, cormorants, frigate birds, and mockingbirds.
This is not counting the tortoises, lizards and underwater animals.

Also the islands are just beautiful. You can take a cruise and stay on ship at night. This would be a great dream vacation for me.

If you can please watch The Life of Birds with David Attenbouorgh, The whole show is wonderful, and he has great segments on Albatrosses.
