Frigate Bird
Frigate birds are named after frigates, war ships that were commonly used by pirates. This is an ideal name for these large, black birds which harass other ocean birds coming back from fishing trips until they drop their catch. The males are easily distinguished by their large red throat pouches, which they inflate during courtship displays. They can be seen on Punta Pitt, San Cristobal Island, Seymour Island, and on Darwin Bay, Tower Island.
