Flying High

This is a frigatebird. They are great
hunters, but are not above snatching the catch
away from other seabirds. This one was flying
above the boat I was on in the Galapagos.

  3. As long as they don't snatch the other birds, I can live with that. ;) Bon weekend, ma chère.

  5. So that’s a frigate bird. I remember something like that from my youth, only, then, we called them pterodactyls.
