Magnificent Frigatebird (adult male in flight) - Michigan City Harbor, LaPorte County, Indiana - September 27, 2008

Pete Grube called to report seeing a Manificent Frigatebird at the Port of Indiana flying east. Our group raced to Michigan City Harbor hoping to intercept the bird. Pete's son Brendan Grube was already there when we arrived, and within about fifteen minutes announced "here it comes!" We watched as it flew by very high and disappeared to the northeast.

These photos were taken with a Nikon D50 Digital Camera with a 70-300mm zoom lens.
