Great Frigatebird passing overhead

A great frigatebird flying off the coast of Hawaii

For Bushboy’s Last on the Card challenge (see more responses here), I had to hunt a bit for the last photo I took. Turned out it was almost a week ago, when I was walking on the coast. The top photo is the last one, unedited. The one below is the next to last, cropped and edited a bit.

This was one of those occasions when I noticed the bird before it reached me, something of an uncommon occurrence in my experience.

What a powerful looking bird – lucky you saw it coming so could photograph it!

  Usually I see them as they pass by. This one I happened to notice a bit before that.

  Thanks, Aletta. They are large birds and the seem to glide effortlessly on the winds.
