Galapagos Birds: A Photographic Voyage

If a picture is worth a thousand words, the 54 photographic images in Mathew Tekulsky's Galapagos Birds speak volumes about these unique and fantastic creatures that live in one tiny part of the world. From the Red-footed and Blue-footed Boobies to the Swallow-tailed Gull and the Waved Albatross, the family lives of these animals are explored through photographs and a text that reads like a fairy tale. "Far, far away, on enchanted islands..." Mr. Tekulsky begins his story, and during the ensuing adventure, the reader sees a Nazca Booby female find her lost egg; observes American Flamingos foraging in a mystical lagoon; shares a ride on a Galapagos Giant Tortoise with not only a Galapagos Mockingbird but a Yellow Warbler as well; witnesses a Galapagos Hawk stretch his wings in anticipation of an imminent flight; and experiences fleeting moments with a Black Oystercatcher mother and her chick on the rocks. The Magnificent and Great Frigatebirds are in the story as well, and what a story it is. So join Mathew Tekulsky for a magical trip to the Galapagos and discover the wonderful birds that live there.
