I made this image from a Zodiac raft moving in three directions at once, primarily interested in the massing of the Marine Iguana colony which made their home on the rocks just off shore from Punta Moreno. I had no idea that a small bird, known as a Ruddy Turnstone, riding on the back of an iguana in the very first row, would steal the show here. None of the iguanas seem to take any notice of it. It is there to scour the sandy backs of the iguanas for food, most likely insects. Meanwhile the details within this image add still more meaning. Three immature black Sally Lightfoot crabs are climbing the wall towards the iguanas. The surface of the rock itself is covered with a yellow carpet of guano, and the iguanas themselves are staring at us as if we are from another planet. Actually, I thought the tables were turned -- it is the iguanas that seem to harken from another world, the world of the distant past, when dinosaurs roamed the earth. Marine iguanas are the world's only sea-going lizards. They are cold-blooded and live largely on algae, but spend much of their time seeking the warmth of the sun on just such rocks as this one.
