I love seeing spectaclar birbs.

The most unreal bird I've seen this year was on my trip to southwest Florida. When I first saw these circling over the beach, I felt like I'd stepped into the movie, Fantasia.

Behold the Magnificent Frigatebird:

They are enormous - have large silhouettes way the heck up in the sky.
