The Swallow-tailed gull (Creagrus furcatus) is a remarkable bird species found on the Genovesa Island in the Galapagos Islands, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in Ecuador, South America. With its elegant appearance and unique features, this bird captivates nature enthusiasts from around the world. Known for its distinct swallow-like tail feathers, the Swallow-tailed gull stands out among other seabirds. Its plumage showcases a beautiful combination of black and white, making it an exquisite sight to behold against the backdrop of the pristine Galapagos Islands. This magnificent creature has adapted perfectly to its environment. It primarily feeds on fish and squid that are abundant in these waters. Unlike most birds, it hunts during nighttime using its exceptional night vision capabilities. This nocturnal behavior sets it apart from other gulls and makes it truly fascinating. Observing these incredible birds nesting is another awe-inspiring experience. On EspaAnola (Hood) Island's Punto Cevallos, you can witness Swallow-tailed Gulls diligently tending to their nests with utmost care and dedication. The bond between parents as they take turns incubating their eggs is heartwarming. The Galapagos Islands provide an ideal habitat for these stunning creatures due to their protected status as part of a national park system. Central America's Ecuador takes pride in conserving this unique ecosystem where such extraordinary species thrive. If you ever have the opportunity to visit Isla Plaza (Palza island), be sure to keep an eye out for these marvelous birds soaring gracefully through the skies or perched along rocky cliffs. Their presence adds even more charm to this already breathtaking destination. Encountering the Swallow-tailed gull in its natural habitat is an unforgettable experience that highlights both Ecuador's commitment to conservation and Mother Nature's ability to create wonders beyond imagination.
