太平洋の熱帯域に分布するグンカンドリ。
繁殖期、オスは赤い咽袋を膨らませ、広げた両翼を震わせて上空を通過するメスに向かって求愛する。
翼中央にある鏡を使い、太陽の光を反射させて自分の存在をより強くアピールするものが現れた。
自慢の鏡で、袋の膨らみをチェックすることにも余念がないみたいである。

Frigate bird lives in the tropics of the Pacific Ocean.
In the breeding season, the male bird inflates a red throat pouch and shakes its wings to appeal to the female bird flying in the sky.
Recently a new type of bird has appeared that has a mirror in the center of each wing with which it reflects the sun beam to catch eye of the female. Also they are fond of proudly checking the size and shape of their throat pouches in the mirrors.
