* Frigate Birds *

Now I will have to apologize if this is not the actual name of these beautiful birds. I saw these down in LaPaz, Baja, just as I was about to get off of the ferry. An American gentleman that frequents the area explained to me what they were. These birds seem to have very large wings for their bodies which enables them to take full advantage of the thermals and soar for very long periods of time.
