AUDUBON NATURALIST NEWS says of Hooked on Galapagos Birds that it shows "in the most exciting way the sights and sounds" there and includes "aerial views of Frigatebirds and Tropicbirds [that are] stunning."  You'll see them eyeball-to-eyebal in slow-motion footage showing fascinating action that can't be seen in real time.  The 57-minute DVD has 24 chapters and includes maps, as well as a brief look at sightseeing and shopping in greater Quito, Ecuador. 

Lava Lizards often scamper up the bodies of Marine Iguanas to perch atop their heads and watch for potential meals, mates and competitors.  They add a unique dimension to the bird-watching experience in the Galapagos Islands.
