Only one frigatebird is native to North America and it is called the Magnificent Frigatebird. The Great Frigatebird and the Lesser Frigatebird are both vagrants and have rarely been seen on the continent.
Frigatebirds in general are dark plumaged seabirds and are identified by their long slender wings and forked tails.
The frigatebirds are not known to land on water, instead they catch their food off the water surface or dive into the water. These tropical bird species are seen in the warmer waters of the various oceans around the world.

Reference to Other Bird Site:ABA - American Birding Association This site represents an organization that maintains official records of all birds species that have been proven to have been seen inside the perimeters of the North American Continent and the surrounding bodies of water. Regular revised versions are posted to keep the bird list current at all times. This is the list used by all serious birders over their lifetime. You may be aware of the movie called the "Big Year". It was with this list that all the competing birders used in an attempt to set a new record as to how many bird species that could be seen by an individual birder in one calendar year.
