Magnificent Frigatebird (Fregata magnificens). Family Fregatidae, order Suliformes.

I'm sooooo happy I got to see this bird!! I was on the ferry headed back to Galveston when I looked towards the back of the boat and saw a HUGE bird flying in the distance. I thought at first it may have been an eagle so I went to the back of the ferry and got some pics, and lo and behold its my first Frigatebird!!! They truly are magnificent.

Bolivar Ferry, Texas, USA. April 2026.
