Editing Frigatebird (section)

==Distribution and habitat==
Frigatebirds are found over tropical oceans, and ride warm [[vertical draft|updrafts]] under [[cumulus cloud]]s. Their range coincides with availability of food such as [[flying fish]], and with the [[trade wind]]s, which provide the windy conditions that facilitate their flying.<ref name=hbwFregatidae/> They occur as rare [[Vagrancy (biology)|vagrant]]s to [[Temperate climate|temperate region]]s and are not found in polar latitudes. Adults are generally sedentary, remaining near the islands where they breed.<ref name=hbwFregatidae/><!-- cites previous two sentences --> However, male frigatebirds have been recorded dispersing great distances after departing a breeding colony—one male great frigatebird relocated from [[Europa Island]] in the Mozambique Channel to the [[Maldives]] {{convert|4400|km|mi|abbr=on}} away, and a male magnificent frigatebird flew {{convert|1400|km|mi|abbr=on}} from [[French Guiana]] to [[Trinidad]].<ref name="Weimerskirch 2006">{{cite journal|last1=Weimerskirch|first1=Henri|last2=Le Corre |first2=Matthieu |last3=Marsac |first3=Francis |last4=Barbraud |first4=Christophe |last5=Tostain |first5=Olivier |last6=Chastel |first6=Olivier |date=2006 |title=Postbreeding movements of frigatebirds tracked with satellite telemetry |journal=The Condor |volume=108 |issue=1|pages=220–25|doi=10.1650/0010-5422(2006)108[0220:PMOFTW]2.0.CO;2|s2cid=55434650 |doi-access=free }}</ref> In 2015, a magnificent frigatebird was spotted as far north as Michigan.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Engel |first1=Joshua |title=A tropical wanderer visits the Midwest |url=https://www.fieldmuseum.org/blog/tropical-wanderer-visits-midwest |publisher=Field Museum of Natural History |access-date=28 January 2022 |date=15 July 2015}}</ref> Great frigatebirds marked with [[bird ringing|wing tags]] on Tern Island in the [[French Frigate Shoals]] were found to regularly travel the {{convert|873|km|mi|abbr=on}} to [[Johnston Atoll]], although one was reported in [[Quezon City]] in the [[Philippines]].
