Wow. These birds are high up but are huge. I am handholding a 600mm lens almost straight up at 600 mm to get them large enough in the frame to show on screen. Magnificent Frigatebirds are almost 4 feet long, with wing span up to 8 feet.

Never seen these birds before but now that I have seen their distinct profile, it will be hard not to identify them, even high up in the sky. Wonderful birds. Ok, here is the closest crop that I was able to get:
