Phoebastria irrorata
The largest bird in the Galapagos is the Waved Albatross. They are found at Punta Suarez on Espanola Island, and in few or no other locations in the Galapagos. At the time we were there, they had completed their courtship behavior, and were nesting; some females were sitting on eggs that had not yet hatched. This bird is stretching his wings, as if to say "See how big I am?".
