[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This day was very windy at sea cost in southern Brazil. This beautiful bird is a Magnificent Frigatebird(Fregata magnificens), also called Tesourão or Fragata in Brazil. It is beautiful to watch these animals just gliding while making little efforts to keep soaring over the beauty of the rough Atlantic. This bird is a juvenile one, once head is still white.

Something about it:
The Magnificent Frigatebird (Fregata magnificens) was sometimes previously known as Man O'War, reflecting its rakish lines, speed, and aerial piracy of other birds.

It is widespread in the tropical Atlantic, breeding colonially in trees in Florida, the Caribbean and Cape Verde Islands. It also breeds along the Pacific coast of the Americas from Mexico to Ecuador including the Galapagos Islands.

The Magnificent Frigatebird is 100 cm (39 inches) long with a 215 cm (85 inch) wingspan. Males are all black with a scarlet throat pouch which is inflated like a balloon in the breeding season. Although the feathers are black, the scapular feathers are iridescent and produce a purple colour when they refract sunlight. Females are black, but have a white breast and lower neck sides, a brown band on the wings and a blue eye ring. Immature birds have a white head and underparts.

Oi Fabiano

mas não poderia deixar de comentar esta foto..
além da composição exemplar, a linha do horizonte e a divisão dos espaços ficou muito boa mesmo...
o pássaro esta perfeitamente "capturado"...
parabéns.
