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.

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
ReplyDeleteLove the one in the middle, with the white head, looking up - such graceful shot.
ReplyDeleteFantastic shots of the birds in flight!
ReplyDeleteThose Frigate Birds are incredible! I see they are related to pelicans.
ReplyDeleteGreat shots - I like the one of the juvenile by himself!
