The magnificent frigate bird range along coasts and islands, and its beautiful wings can be easily noticed,
as it flies magnificently through the air. In this illustration, we can pretend to be one of them for a day and
see how this bird nest. The female (F) have a huge white spot on the throat, while the male (M) have a bright
red pouch on the throat. They nest in dense colonies on top of low trees, shrubs or near rocks. The male is
responsible for making the nest with sticks (a,b) and the female only lay one egg per season (b). The young
frigate bird is white (a).
