[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The Frigate birds, also called Man O'War, belong to the sea though they are virtually not waterproof!
They are large (almost 6 feet/1.8 m. wingspan), lightweight and have a long, hooked beak to catch fish without getting wet.
Frigates have an easier way to get food: stealing from other Galapagos birds, specially red-footed boobies (this is, naturally, a survival strategy).
And when it is time to raise a family, they settle in others' nests, or abscond with some sticks.
Male frigates have shiny green or purple plumage (depending on the species) and a resplendent scarlet pouch, which is displayed in courtship.

Perfect sharp details and nice composition. The red part is not to much "eye-catched" ? An only blue background is not better ? Nevermind, a very good shot !
Best regards
Jean

almost like an abstract and very well presented i do like the framing.tfs

Great capture Djozz.
Seems strange that such a great shot took you so long to decide to upload it. I'm glad you did though.
I like it.

I like the highlights on the top of the wings .
