the most incredible flyer of the animal kingdom,hands down, Yhave seen them "levitate" in strong headwinds with zero vertical component... no problem, also ,this bird has the lowest wing loading of any bird.. that double delta wing "design" is just fantastic

Wow, actual science and not just a blatant ad for once. Good job.

Thanks a lot for the video. I was delighted to find them flying by the seaside in Cancun- Mexico. They are beautiful, though I could not see them at close range, they just keeping soaring high in the sky.

Magnificent video, we try to identify a frigate, maybe F. minor

Help! I have documented 2 frigatebirds but unsure if Lesser or Christmas species.
