In the morning — a hike around Rabida, followed by some snorkeling (pictures from that to come later…)

The view of our boat from the beach.

A Galapagos hawk in flight — it’s tagged!

Fat bird with a red hat (vermillion fly catcher)

In the afternoon, we took a zodiac around Eden Inlet to look for sharks and rays. They’re pretty hard to see in the water.

Some fishermen (maybe sea cucumber?) hanging out.

Small unpuffed pufferfish

I swear this looked more like a shark in person…

One stop animal rock — pelicans, sea lions, sally crabs & marine iguanas.
