EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this snapshot by Michael Nolan, we witness an extraordinary male great frigate bird in flight, showcasing its expanded gular pouch near its nesting and breeding site on North Seymour Island. This lone aviator seems to have mastered the art of kleptoparasitism - a fancy term for being a skilled thief! With vibrant red plumage contrasting against the vast Pacific Ocean backdrop, our feathered protagonist soars through the air with unmatched grace. Its wings spread wide, revealing intricate patterns that make every other bird envious. This single frigate bird is no ordinary flyer; it possesses an unmistakable forked tail that adds flair to its aerial acrobatics. As it glides effortlessly above the Galapagos Island Group, one can't help but be mesmerized by its majestic display. Known as the "Great Frigate" this clever creature has perfected stealing food from others mid-flight. With its expanded gular pouch acting as bait, it swoops down like a stealthy bandit to snatch away meals from unsuspecting victims below. So next time you find yourself in Ecuador's enchanting Galapagos Islands, keep your eyes peeled for this notorious thief of the skies! But don't worry about losing your lunch – just enjoy watching nature's own high-flying spectacle unfold before your very eyes.
