Not this species Jemma. The sub-species that sometimes suck blood is the Hood mockingbird http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/171...

Great series Karen, and a nice reminder for me because I've been meaning to revisit your Galapagos spottings. It is likely that I will visiting these islands myself later this year. I'll send you an email soon about it.
