Description

We came upon some waved albatross during their courtship maneuvers on Espanola Island in the Galapagos archipelago, their primary breeding ground. The courtship includes rapid bill circling and bowing, beak clacking, and an upraised bill to make a cow-like moo sound. The courtship ritual is most complex and drawn out for new breeding pairs and pairs which had an unsuccessful breeding season. The partners remain mates until one of the partners dies. I’m not sure if this particular pair ended up together but their courtship ritual went on for quite some time. The waved albatross is the largest bird in the Galapagos and get their name from the wave like pattern on their wings. The population of waved albatrosses on the Galápagos is protected by national park personnel, and the island is also categorized as a World Heritage Site. The population of waved albatross is listed as critically endangered.
