>From my deck, just had a Magnificent Frigatebird go cruising over at about 12:05, high (200-300m?) and sailing in a straight line to the northwest. I had just taken my pet Cockatiel outside and he immediately alerted me something directly overhead. My first reaction was "probably just another Turkey Vulture", but then I noticed the wing dihedral, and then the very long, extremely narrow tail. I dashed back inside for binoculars, but by the time I got them in focus, it had slipped away behind the roof line. A mad dash to the street didn't pay off either.
Keep an eye on the sky if you are out in Wellington, Perth or Bruce counties this afternoon! Oh, and thanks to Louis for finding the most magnificent yard bird ever!
