Greetings All

This is a capture of a male Galapagos Frigate Bird with his red pouch fully inflated. He is in the 'hunt' so to speak for a mate when they are in this condition. Looking at the end of his beak where it curves down - we always wonder what would happen to the pouch if he happened to yawn???
Hope you enjoy

    Thank you Dan and Tony...If you look at the end of his beak you will see how it curves down. Well we joked that what would happen if he yawns when the pouch is fully inflated and the sharp end of the beak hits the pouch??
