Penguins and Tortoises

A last look at a couple penguins before heading back to shore. Our next outing on Isabela Island was to a tortoise farm.

Galapagos Green Turtle

This green turtle seems to be having a nice, relaxing swim in the warm water of this small protected inlet.

Penguins, Sharks, and Turtles

These two penguins are sunning themselves and getting warm. You will notice that they both seem to have large sections of their white chest plumage appearing as a light yellow.

Penguins and a Great Blue Heron

On the lava near the shore, we see a penguin family. The nearest one is still molting into adult plumage.

Boobies and Penguins

Just south of Isabela Island is a collection of rocky, mostly barren, lava outcroppings called Los Tintoreras. Here we find blue-footed boobies and Galapagos penguins.

The blue feet really stand out against the dark lava.
