Juvenile Magnificent Frigate Bird taken at their colony island Wednesday. They were surprisingly approachable, one even flew close enough that I could feel the wind from the down beat of its wings.

To get this close to a Frigate Bird has to be an awesome experience. To get a shot like this has to be a thrill.
