Frigatebird

Suitably named - they are the pirates of the air. Long wings and forked tails give them exceptionally maneuverability to steal food from other ocean birds returning home after fishing trips. Since they can become waterlogged due to small preening glands, they are not divers, but surface feeders when not stealing from others.
