Waved Albatross

Phoebastria irrorata (Salvin, O 1883)

The waved albatross, also known as Galapagos albatross, is the only member of the family Diomedeidae located in the tropics. When they forage, they follow a straight path to a single site off the coast of Peru, about 1,000 km (620 mi) to the east. During the non-breeding season, these birds reside primarily on the Ecuadorian and Peruvian coasts. Source: Wikipedia
