The Hood Mockingbird (Nesomimus macdonaldi) is endemic to Hood Island in the Galapagos. The digital shot on the left was taken there in July, 2003, with a Canon EOS 10D and an EF 70-200 mm F/2.8 L IS lens. These birds are remarkably tame and even land on tourists on a regular basis.

The next 5 images were taken on Hood Island in July, 2007, with a Canon EOS 1D Mark III and EF 100-400mm F/4.5-5.6 L IS lens.

The above shot shows an adult on the left with a juvenile bird.
