A Finch, an Iguana, and a Warbler

Unsurprisingly, we find a medium ground finch perched atop a cactus.

Medium Ground Finch, Galapagos Flycatcher, Brown Pelican

The medium ground finch is ubiquitous on San Cristóbal. This one seems to be staring me down.

Yellow Warbler, Brown Pelican, Medium Ground Finch

The yellow warbler is a fine looking bird. With the greens abd browns of the forest, it is a striking image.

Our journey began in earnest by flying to San Cristóbal Island in the Galapagos. The first afternoon, I took a walk through the forest and up a hill to a lookout where we hoped to see some frigate birds. On the way, we spotted a variety of birds. Above is a medium ground finch.
