The skies over Darwin Bay are usually crowded with sea birds coming and going from the various nesting colonies on Genovesa, which is sometimes referred to as "the Galapagos Bird Island." The largest colony of Red-Footed Boobies in the world nest in the trees here, and a large mixed colony of Great and Magnificent Frigatebirds is here as well. Birds such as the Swallow-tailed Gull and the Red-billed Tropicbird also abound. A melange of these birds converge in this image. I focused on four of them, perfectly spaced, with great tension moving through the negative spaces running between them. Just as I was making this photograph, the two birds on the bottom engaged in what seems to be a heated discussion. Bills open, and heads only inches apart, they flew at each other and made this picture one of the most memorable images of my visit to the Galapagos. The graceful forms and alignment of the four birds, with a pale light blue sky behind them, suggest a water color painting.
