Galapagos 7-1-07 Genovesa Prince Philips Steps Darwin Finch [7 of 26]
We saw two Darwin finches on Genovesa. 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.
