Genovesa Cactus Finch
This was the last day of our Nat/Geo trip around the Galapagos Islands. We went to Genovesa Island on the northern edge of the archipelago. This island is very rugged, being an extinct volcano and on the south side is a large collapsed volcanic crater, forming a bay where we were able to disembark the zodiacs and take the Prince Philip's Steps up the cliff face. The island is teaming with birds, especially the large boobies and frigate birds. We also saw more finches and the one here is the Genovesa Cactus Finch, with its very large bill!
