I have a friend that considers these birds to be a throwback to prehistoric Pterodactyls and they certainly do look somewhat similar. They are beautiful birds with massive wingspans near 6 feet across. This one and its mate gave me a very nice flyby coupled with a turn that showcased just how large it is.
