Galapagos Birds – Magnificent Frigatebird
Galapagos Birds – Magnificent Frigatebird Portrait
The frigatebirds are a family of seabirds also sometimes called Man of War birds or Pirate birds. Since they are related to the pelicans, the term “frigate pelican” is also a name applied to them. They have long wings, tails, and bills and the males have a red gular pouch that is inflated during the breeding season to attract a mate.

Thanks for your comment, Nia
What an awesome bird! Where did you photograph these? Not in the U.S., I think.
Donna, I photographed them in the Galapagos Islands, off the coast of Ecuador
