Sharp-beaked Ground Finch

The Galapagos Islands are famous for their finches which helped Charles Darwin to develop his theories about evolution. Many of the finches look similar and are difficult to tell apart. You need to pay attention to the size and shape of the bill, as Darwin did. This female Sharp-beaked Ground Finch was on Genovesa. They are sometimes called Vampire Finches, because they drink the blood of living creatures
