White-cheeked Pintail (Galapagos)

Paul Demkovich

We spent 8 days in the Galápagos Islands traveling to 10 islands, looking for the special birds on each.

On Santa Cruz Island we traveled in a bus to see the giant tortoises. At Rancho Primicias there were ponds and muddy areas for the tortoises to enjoy. We found several White-cheeked Pintails in one of the ponds.
