Great Frigatebird (Fregata minor) feeding a chick via regurgitation, on Genovesa (Tower).  Genovesa is the most north-easterly of the major islands and is sometimes omitted from tours. This is unfortunate, as it is an important site for red-footed boobies, great frigatebirds and swallow-tailed gulls, among other species.
