Description
A pair of waved albatrosses performs a courtship ritual on the island of Espanola in the Galapagos. The birds would class their bills against each other rapidly, and then lean backward with mouths open like this, mirroring each other. Full disclosure: I removed guano from the background rocks to clean the image up. However, the birds themselves have not been manipulated. This is natural behavior. Consider this a "photo illustration."
