It is common to see large black birds flying high in the skies over Gal&aacute;pagos. These are frigatebirds. There are two species of figatebirds In the Galapagos: the great frigatebird and the magnificent frigatebird. Both species have extremely long slender wings allowing them soar of the waters of the archipelago and a bare-skinned red gular pouch, which in courting males becomes inflated to attract the attention of females.
