Blue footed boobies doing a mating dance. THE Galapagos bird. I'd never been interested in birds before going to the Galapagos. But there, they're not scared and just go about their business as you walk by. In fact, you really have to watch where you step on the islands or you might step on a sea lion, or a bird, or an iguana... Amazing. So you get to see these birds perform the most interesting dances and movements. All the birds were fascinating.
