Caught these guys - pretty rare to me. Found in the FL Keys (Marathon, FL)

Editing on travel so color and exposure may not be perfect on this laptop, but decent enough to share.

Enjoy!

Thanks mark - really wanted to catch the males with their gular pouch puffed up but I have no idea when mating season is and these puppies glide for weeks... so... I was just glad to get a picture lol. I watched these two birds literally fly out to sea for a good half mile. These birds are pretty awesome.

I hope that you can get some more of them, but these two are suitable for framing!

We sometimes see them in Biloxi when a hurricane blows in. I've never been close enough for a good shot though. Very nice!
