Fascinating article on #birds.
"Research by the Max Planck Institute for Ornithology showed how great #frigatebirds nap while airborne. These #seabirds lack waterproof plumage and can’t afford to land on the water, yet stay at sea for weeks on end."

Right-side view of a Juvenile Magnificent Frigatebird, perched on a bare branch. Sky in the background is bright blue.
Greetings my fellow bird-lovers! This beauty is from a trip to Baja California Sur. Here's a striking juvenile Magnificent Frigatebird, looking pretty dang magnificent, imo.

One from Puerto Vallarta, Mexico a few years ago. There was a small fish market near the beach. At the end of the day they would dump the fish offal onto the beach causing a huge scrum of pelicans, frigatebirds & egrets looking for an easy meal. 😄👍 #BirdingMexico #pelicans #frigatebirds #egrets

"To the east of the Caribbean lies the beautiful island of Barbuda, the mating ground of the wonderful frigatebird which has an unusual mating ritual."

This frigatebird released surprisingly little poop for the size of the bird. Thankfully little because I was within striking range of the fishy stuff.
I though Mama owl was leaning forward because she was getting ready to fly off. She wasn't.
This phoebe sat on a stick, looked me straight in the eye, and released the tiniest cutest little poop.
This ruby-throated hummingbird thanked me for the sugar water by dropping a few microliters of sugary fertilizer in the yard.
As everyone shares their best pics of the year...
My collection has gained two more poopy birds, a frigatebird and a brown pelican. Here is the collection. You're welcome. IDs in Alt

The pelican won this battle and its buddies celebrate. Or maybe they just want some of that fish too.

What happens if you clean fish and throw pieces you don't want in the water? CHAOS happens.

2 large birds entangled in the air with only one typical white breast well seen to say it is a female. Blown up there appears to be a sliver of white identifying the other one as female as well. No evidence of food in the kerfuffle. This was taken at some distance and recovered with Topaz Sharpen to separate the 2.

Class: Aves Order: Suliformes Family: Fregatidae Genus: Fregata Species: F. magnificens CC: TWKK

Day 96 of #JRBPVirtualTour. The #gangly #doublecrested #Cormorant (#Phalacrocorax #auritus) A matte-black fishing bird with yellow-orange facial skin. Though they look like a combination of a #goose and a #loon, they are relatives of #frigatebirds and #boobies. Pics Peter Hart.
