These Galapagos Flycatchers were the most inquisitive and unafraid birds we encountered. While walking a trail this one would fly up and back to the hair of my friend's wife. She said that she could feel it tugging at her hair, so we set up and waited for it to come again and it did.

This is not what I was expecting. What a great capture of this type of behavior. I'd like to visit a place where the birds fly towards you instead of away. :)

ROFL! Love it! We didn't see any of these. What island were these on? (Of course, I'm also surprised to see everything green!) Gotta remember to post some albatross for you.
