Here’s a courtship display we will never see in Pennsylvania.
This is a magnificent frigatebird, a sea bird who inflates the bald patch on his throat to impress his lady.
What do you think? Will she fall for it?

Would love to see one of these birds.
With a wingspan of 85 to 91 inches, it would really be something to see!
