Magnificent Frigatebird - Morro Bay


Kaaren Perry
 

At near 9:00 this morning a Magnificent Frigate bird was observed soaring over my car as I drove slowly along St Park Drive near the State Park marina.  All black bird, with somewhat broad and extremely long, pointed wings and a long deeply forked tail. No gular pouch was visible. Bill was long and dark with a hook at the end.  Unfortunately I was unable to get any photos and the bird continued on, soaring out over the bay and out to sea. At no time did I see it flap. Weather had been quite windy with light showers. 

Just when you least expect, it happens!!
