I never thought to bring this up, but this frigate is a male. The females have a white belly. Just in case you want to name him! Back to the feet--which I had some trouble locating a picture of--and, again, thanks to Wikipedia for the information--they are pretty unnecesary, as these birds can stay in the air for more than a week. Thanks, again to Betsy and Mark Blum, who graciously offered to allow me to post one of their photos on my blog. Alas, I couldn't copy it from Facebook. I hope you're priveledged enough to be one of their friends so that you can view the magnificent shot of a frigate in flight--from below. Much better and more detailed than the one that I posted!
Well--here's my frigate--remember the plume on the head is my addition!
And...my pair of birdies!
Remember--they still need names. And...due to the underwhelming response to my contests--if you REALLY want my frigate, besides a name, I'll need an essay (under 500 words, please!) telling me why you can't live without him and, either subscribe to my blog or become a fan of Goulash Designs on Facebook.
Email entries to my by Saturday, February 4. If you chose to subscribe to my blog instead of, or addition to becoming a Facebook fan, mention that in your email.
And, remember--deadline for the Blue Footed Boobie's naming looms near--it's tomorrow!
