Great series! and it is particularly encouraging that you saw Blue Foots displaying on Española where their numbers have been decreasing, like elsewhere on Galapagos, - for reasons that are not yet fully understood, as explained by David Anderson, a scientist associated with the Darwin Foundation, at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_hB7GQMWK....
