Great Frigatebird in the Galapagos Islands

There are two kinds of frigatebird in the Galápagos Islands: the great frigatebird and magnificent frigatebird (pretty sure those names were the birds’ idea).

In this picture, you can see how to spot the difference. From the smaller, smoother feathers on its head, and the green-tinted feathers on its shoulders, we can tell this is a great frigatebird.
