magnificent frigate bird

magnificent frigate bird

these are very cool birds, very long wingspan, and majestic in flight. despite their impressive size, they're actually very light which helps them glide in the air. but they have issues when fishing, they cannot get wet, the water absorbed can cause them to drown as they can't fly with a bit of extra weight. also known as the pirate bird for their thievery. we saw these everywhere on our sunset and bird watching tour with cesiak of the sian ka'an biosphere near tulum.
