We calculate the magnetic dipole moment of the {delta}(1232) and {omega}{sup -} baryons with 2+1 flavors of clover fermions on anisotropic lattices using a background magnetic field. This is the first dynamical calculation of these magnetic moments using a background field technique. The calculation for {omega}{sup -} is done at the physical strange quark mass, with the result in units of the physical nuclear magneton {mu}{sub {omega}{sup -}}=-1.93{+-}0.08{+-}0.12 (where the first error is statistical and the second is systematic) compared to the experimental number: -2.02{+-}0.05. The {delta} has been studied at three unphysical quark masses, corresponding to pion mass m{sub {pi}}=366, 438, and 548 MeV. The pion mass dependence is compared with the behavior obtained from chiral effective field theory.
