Galapagos 3-2-04 Espanola Gardner Bay Darwin Finch  [22 of 24]


We saw a Darwin finch at Gardner Bay. There are 13 distinct species of finch found throughout the Galapagos Islands, with each species inhabiting its own niche. Charles Darwin's observations of the finches' different bill shapes and related eating habits helped lead to his revolutionary theories about natural selection. All of the Galapagos finches are relatively small and sparrow-like.
