Magnificent Frigatebird that is... :roll:

Coming in for a landing at a rookery island just off the coast here. Probably about 200+ Magnicents were hanging out there this morning waiting for the thermals to start up.

1d MkII, 500 f4.5, 1/1000 sec, f/7.1 (manual), ISO320, handheld from boat

Appreciate any comments,
Jason

I like it, Jason. I've never been fortunate enough to get one of these.

Nice flight shape, and good detail. Love the dangling feet.

where do these hang out?

Thanks everyone. They hang out on a couple of different islands around the Tampa Bay area that you can only get to by boat.

Super shot, Jason. He has a very un-magnificent look to him. Looks like he just got out of the bathtub.

Good one Jason.

I finally got a decent shot of one (all black) with detail instead of the usual silhouette and was going to post it. No reason now since this is a definitive shot.
