Field Notes

Description:

•It's the largest species of frigatebird.
•They eat mainly fish taken in flight from the ocean's surface or taken from other birds.
•They never land on water.
•They spend days and nights on the wing, like the common swift (the only other bird that does it).

Habitat:

Tropical and subtropical waters off America
-I saw these frigatebirds in Angra dos Reis (RJ, Brazil)
