Magnificent Frigate Bird

Magnificent Frigate birds 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 frigate birds. If you hear gulls and seabirds making a ruckus, look up and you might find a frigate bird harassing them for their meal.  --- All About Birds
