This is another magnificent frigatebird (Fregaya magnificens), I posted a picture of one coming out of Gaveston last week. This one was over the water at Costa Maya, Mexico. There were several flying around, circling over the bay. I got a lot of pics, so you can look for me to post more in the coming months.

Why #frigatebirds can't float? https://www.audubon.org/news/why-frigatebirds-cant-float
The #seabirds can stay aloft over the open #ocean for months, but they don't really have a choice. Their #feathers — unlike those of nearly all other sea #birds — are not #waterproof. Instead, the #frigatebird is a master of staying aloft. Tracking devices placed on frigatebirds near #Madagascar showed that they often stay in the air for a month and half at a time.
