I am still going through the thousands of pictures from my Galapagos trip, courtesy of the new camera. This one, I titled fishing buddies. The Lava Gulls found a unique way to catch their meals by sittong on pelicans, when the surface after a dive. Smaller fish will escape the beak and become easier pray for the gulls.
