Description
"Elegant Magnificent Frigatebird" wildlife photograph by Dawn Currie. This beautiful bird almost flew by without my notice. Luckily my husband got my attention in time to capture this graceful immature Magnificent Frigatebird flying over the tidal pond in Sebastian Inlet State Park.
Beach goers delight in this large, black pterodactyl-like bird that soars effortlessly on tropical breezes with hardly a flap. Magnificent Frigatebirds (Fregata magnificens) soar along the coast in the southern United States, Mexico, and the Caribbean staying near water; a perfect excuse for a walk on the beach. They tend to take flight later in the afternoon when winds and thermals are greatest, helping keep them aloft. Look for their long and angular wings and slender silhouette soaring effortlessly alone or with a group of frigatebirds. If you hear gulls and seabirds making a ruckus, look up and you might find a frigatebird harassing them for their meal.
