Hi Ms. Barrett!
These are just some questions I had about the animals on the Galapagos Islands:
-Are other birds as colorful as the blue-footed booby and the frigate bird?
-Is it easy to tell the difference between a male sea lion and a female sea lion? Or do they look almost the same?
-I noticed that most of the bird pictures on the blog look like they are near the ocean. Do a lot of the birds on the Galapagos Islands live close to the ocean?

Maya,
Thanks for the questions! I have a field guide for all the birds of the Galapagos Islands on my desk. In addition to have pictures, the book includes information about each bird's status, identification, distribution, diet, and breeding. Let's take a look at it 6th period.

Yes, blue feet! The blue-footed booby is just one of the amazing animals that calls these islands home. Please join me as I travel to the Galapagos Islands from September 30, 2007 through October 12, 2007 to learn about the unique animals of the Galapagos and the environment in which they live.
Teachers - Do you want to go to the Galapagos Islands?
