 Man O War Bird. They are rarely seen not flying during the day. We look for these birds when we are deep sea fishing because they tend to follow big fish that are running small fish to the surface. They eat the leftovers and pick off a few from the schools of small fish.
Shot from the tower on the boat. It's rare to be able to get a shot of these birds from above, as they are usually watching the water from about 300 to 500 ft up, only diving to pick up a fish once in a while.
