Frigate Ahoy!

Yes, they're fabulous, can watch them all day; of course I am somewhat biased in favour of the...wait for it...PELICANO!

Seriously though, some years back I watched in horror on La Madera early one morning when a frigate bird grabbed a baited line as the pescadero was casting. He hauled the bird in and gently unhooked it, and tossed it back into the air.


:vivamexico:

Walking on Playa La Ropa a few years ago, I came across a newly-hatched turtle that clearly was having trouble making it through the waves to deeper water.
I waded out to where the water was neck-deep and released the little guy, and watched as he swam away.....but he got only a few yards before a friggin' frigate bird swooped down and grabbed him.
Ah, nature!
