Few animals provide the profusion of color diversity, of form, and beauty of movement offered by birds, particularly sea birds.
Watching birds offers an insight into the complexities of the natural world, an exciting and rewarding opportunity to observe ecological principles in operation. Ecology is the science that deals with the relationship of animals and plants to their environment and to each other, and these dynamic environmental forces can be seen clearly in an island like Española, on a large scale. Similar environmental factors control mankind's destiny, for today's world faces unprecedented problems and challenges in maintaining a balance of nature.
Certainly, watching the blue-footed boobies as they showed us their blue feet can confirm one of the most powerful attractions a place like Galapagos has: it allows us to be immersed in a completely new world which is synonymous with peace and harmony.
