| A pair of Waved
Albatross (Diomedea irrorata) touch bills during their courtship
ritual. These albatross return to the Galapagos in early April
to find their mate and begin breeding. Once they have located
their partner they perform an elaborate ritual which includes
much bobbing of the head and clapping the bills together. Once
both are satisfied with the others performance, then they will
proceed to lay a large egg and continue with the business of
raising a chick. |
