You truly don't have to go far to witness the world-famous Galapagos Finch during your time in the Galapagos Islands. Simply kick back at our pool and observe these small, understated birds as they come and go from one of their most reliable local watering holes. What is it, exactly, that made these small birds so remarkable to Charles Darwin? The fact that on islands only a few miles apart, with such similar environments, they evolved into 15 (or even 17 depending on who you ask) species. For example, some finches have long, pointy beaks to eat prickly pear cactus flowers while others have shorter beaks, ideal for eating seeds right off the ground. Get all the details–including how the Galapagos Finch is continuing to evolve right before our very eyes–at the link below. https://lnkd.in/g7jZ2UzB #GalapagosSafariCamp #GalapagosIslands #Galapagos #GalapagosFinch #Birding #BirdWatching #BirdWatchingVacation #BirdLovers #BirdsOfInstagram #Wildlife #NatureLovers #Birdlife #WildlifeVacation #OnSafari #Safari

The bee hummingbird (Mellisuga Helena) is the world's smallest bird, and it has some fascinating characteristics. Here are some key facts about this remarkable bird:🔥 1. Size The bee hummingbird is tiny, measuring just 2.0 to 2.4 inches (5 to 6 cm) in length, about the size of a large bumblebee, which is how it got its name.🐝 It weighs around 1.6 to 2.0 grams, making it the lightest bird on the planet. 2. Native Habitat This hummingbird is found primarily in Cuba and on the Isle of Youth (Isla de la Juventud). It is not found in other parts of the world, making its habitat very localized.🇨🇺 3. Flight Like other hummingbirds, the bee hummingbird is capable of hovering in place thanks to its unique figure-eight wing beats. This ability allows it to feed on nectar from flowers while staying in one spot. It can fly forwards, backwards, and even upside down, but it generally maintains a very fast pace, flapping its wings at 80 beats per second.👀 #BeeHummingbird #RareBirds #SmallestBird #Wildlife #WildlifePhotography #avitrol #birdcontrol #pestcontrol #wildlife #birds

Thursday's #BoatingWildlifeAware tip: If you're heading out to a new area of water, make sure to look up the local wildlife first.
