Galpagos Islands, 1986 Photograph by Sam Abell Great frigatebirds,
silhouetted against a gray-blue sky, feed in the waters around Santa
Cruz Island in the Galpagos. Frigatebirds use their long, hooked bills
to scoop their favorite food, flying fish, from above or just below the
water&#039s surface.

(Photograph shot on assignment for, but not published in, the National
Geographic book Majestic Island Worlds, 1987)    RELATED
