2012 Week #35

After snorkeling at Shark Alley near San Cristobal, our Intrepid tour of the Galapagos took us to a beach for some relaxation and lunch.  In reality…we  needed to warm up after the chilling snorkeling we’d just done.  These curious little finches were not afraid at all.  This guy walked right up to me and I actually backed away as I took the photos.  It’s so unexpected for a bird, especially a small one like this, to be so friendly.
