Frigates frequent the area, and roost in the mangroves, at night. So, I see them frequently, as they try to bum a meal from the local fishermen, all along the coast.

I was lucky enough to see these once when a storm came through Florida while I was there and pushed them near the coast for a day. They just hovered over the beach, their angular forms reminding me of a bunch of Pterodactyls, a really neat and unusual sight. Have never seen them since (although I haven’t made it to Florida much since).
