Great Frigatebird attacking juvenile Booby, Kilauea Point, Kauai
Kilauea Point National Wildlife Refuge, Kauai, Hawaiian Islands, USA (September 2015)
Great Frigatebirds are regularly sighted patrolling the approaches to the Point and can be seen harassing Red-footed Boobies. In this image, a Frigatebird has grabbed hold of a juvenile Red-footed Booby. Unfortunately, it is a heavily cropped shot as the action occurred at some distance off the Point at around 9:50 am before the Refuge was open to the public. The Refuge is open from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm. The entrance fee is $5. Outside of opening hours, the Point and the Lighthouse together with circling sea birds can be viewed from near the gate.
