Two Bora Bora seabirds jostle for position over a school of feeding reef sharks, looking for any leftover goodies. I think we have a great frigate bird up top and a greater crested tern down below, but I’ll take other suggestions from any savvy birders in the audience. The frigate birds look pretty tenuous when they’re soaring on thermals near the cloud base—but they’re seriously impressive up close.

I’ll be on a tiny motu (islet) in French Polynesia until October 11. As always, I apologize in advance for any even-slower-than-usual responses to emails and phone calls!
