Magnificent Frigatebird


The Magnificent Frigatebird is a long-winged, fork-tailed bird of tropical oceans. It is an agile flier that snatches food off the surface of the ocean and steals food from other birds. It breeds mostly south of the United States, but wanders northward along the coasts during nonbreeding season. This bird was photograghed early this morning flying along the beaches of the Sanibel Lighthouse.
