Even though the Magnificent Frigatebird spends most of its life flying over the ocean, it will rarely (if ever) land on the water. It spends days and nights on the wing, with an average ground speed of 10 km/hour, covering over 200 km before landing. They alternately climb in thermals, to altitudes occasionally as high as 2500 m, and descend to near the sea surface. The only other bird known to spend days and nights on the wing is the Common Swift.
