The lesser frigatebird, a bird rarely seen in North America, was apparently spotted in Northeast Ohio of all places recently. A lesser frigatebird was seen flying over Sippo Lake near Canton, according to several bird enthusiasts and photographers.

Another photographer named Austin Rice posted this photo on Instagram and shared the details of what he saw on the night of May 23 in Stark County. The smallest of the frigatebirds, but note that the female is larger than the male.
Adults are easier to identify than younger birds. Adult males are almost entirely black with a red throat and white spurs emanating outwards from the body onto the wing. Adult females have a black belly and throat, a white breast and hind collar, with similar white spurs on their sides. Juvenile and immature plumages are variable and are best separated from other frigatebirds by size when comparison is possible.

Strongly pelagic during non-breeding season but wind-blown or fatigued birds can be found from continental coasts.that the May 23 sighting in Stark County was only the seventh reported sighting of the lesser frigatebird in the contiguous United States.
