Flight of the Waved Alrobatross

Espanola Island, Galapagos

Critically Endangered in the Wild http://www.birdlife.org/datazone/speciesfactsheet.php?id=3955

This photo was shot atop a rocky cliff that is the breeding grounds for the Waved Albatross.
(Yes, I climbed the cliff over the kind of rocks and boulders that you see.)

Three fourth the eggs laid had been abandoned and would never hatch.


other sizes: small medium large original auto

This is a super shot too, Liz. Nice job snagging him/her in flight.
