Magnificent Frigatebird
The Magnificent Frigatebird (Fregata magnificens) is a large seabird found along tropical and subtropical coastlines of the Americas, particularly around the Caribbean, Pacific, and Atlantic oceans. Males are known for their striking appearance, with glossy black plumage and a distinctive red throat pouch, which they inflate like a balloon during courtship displays. Females are slightly larger, with white underbellies. Magnificent Frigatebirds have long, forked tails and extremely long wings, giving them an impressive wingspan of up to 7.5 feet. Known for their aerial agility, they often soar effortlessly and can stay aloft for days. They are also notorious for their kleptoparasitic behavior, harassing other birds to steal food mid-air.
