Description
A juvenile Magnificent Frigatebird rests on a tree branch against a beautiful blue sky near the town of Rio Lagartos, Yucatan, Mexico.
Beachgoers delight in this large, black pterodactyl-like bird that soars effortlessly on tropical breezes with hardly a flap, using its deeply forked tail to steer. Watching a Magnificent Frigatebird float in the air truly is, as the name implies, magnificent. These master aerialists are also pirates of the sky, stealing food from other birds in midair. Males have a bright red pouch on the throat, which they inflate like a balloon to attract females. Females unlike most other seabirds look different than males with their white chest.
Magnificent Frigatebirds soar along the coast in the southern United States, Mexico, and the Caribbean staying near water;
