I am linking up my Magnificent Bird with World Bird Wednesday and Nature Notes
The Magnificent Frigatebirds are a common birds seen in the Caribbean. It is fun to watch them climb high in the thermals and then descend close to the sea. They feed mainly on fish and take their meals in flight never landing in the sea.
The females are black and have a white breast and the males are all black.
The juveniles have a white head and underparts.
We saw many of these Magnificent Frigatebirds in Curacao, they were also very common in Panama.
To see more beautiful birds check out Springman's World Bird Wednesday and Nature Notes.
Thanks to Springman for hosting World Bird Wednesday and to Michelle the host of Nature Notes.
Thanks also for stopping by to see my post, I appreciate the visits. I hope everyone has a great week.

Great shots Eileen. The frigatebirds are one of my outstanding memories of Mexico Cancun and your pictures just brought those memories back to me. The sun, the turquoise sea and as you say frigatebirds everywhere.

They really are amazing and you got some equally amazing photos of them against that blue..blue sky.. thank you for linking up to Nature Notes Eileen...Michelle
Great photos!
Nice pictures of a great bird - although I think that they got their name because they beat up other birds!

Wonderful shots and wonderful birds - about 2-3 years ago one of these birds was found quite local to where I live in the UK - it was exhausted and was rushed to a local wild life sanctuary but unfortunately it could not be saved - how sad
Love the one in the middle, with the white head, looking up - such graceful shot.
Fantastic shots of the birds in flight!
Those Frigate Birds are incredible! I see they are related to pelicans.
Great shots - I like the one of the juvenile by himself!
wow. so jealous of your nature trips! if i would be given the chance to travel and take shots of these amazing creatures, i'd surely do it! right now, i have to get good grades in school, soooo. :)
