This is the best time of year to photograph the Magnificent Frigatebirds in SW Florida b/c many congregate here before migrating south for their nesting season. The farthest north they nest is the Dry Tortugas. Within two weeks, they'll all be gone. This is a juvenile squawking.
Canon 1D4, Canon 500L & 2TC @ 1000mm

I love it. Beautiful individual and a nice huuuuge open beak:). Well done.

Very nice Marina. I like the IQ and the open bill and that stray chest feather. Your comp works well.
The only thing that could improve this would be a BG with a bit more color variation in it.

PS I see a dust spot 2 inches from RHS along lower edge.

That is one species I'd love top photograph someday. Sweet portrait of this youngster! Well exposed, sharp, well balanced comp.

Nice portrait, the colors, detail and exposure are spot on. I have never seen this bird up close. Thank you for sharing.

Despite being a very common bird here I have to say that I´ve never seen them so close!
Love the wide open beak and nice feather exposure!
