Barbuda Frigate Bird Sanctuary
Located on Barbuda's northeast lagoon, accessible only
by boat.
About 5,000 Fregata magnificens live there. Also
called man o' war birds, the magnificent frigate birds have wingspans of four to five feet.
Best time to visit is in the fall during the courting period when
the male frigates display their red throat pouch.
The frigates may get all the publicity but they share their sanctuary with
another 170 species of birds.
Tours are readily available from Antigua.
