My Column: State Line Hawk Watch

One of the most amazing birds we saw on the trip was the Magnificent Frigatebird.
We saw several along the coast, then saw them by the hundred at Man-of-War Caye off Dangriga.
This small island is their nesting colony, and the entire 2/3-of-an-acre is thick with these birds.
During breeding seasons, the males sport bright red pouches under their bills, which, as you can imagine, the females just go wild for.
