Red-billed Tropicbird (08Sep2018)

We get both White-tailed and Red-billed Tropicbird in NC waters and in fact on one pelagic I had both at the same time!  This Red-billed was actually fairly close to the Hatteras inlet.  The finely barred back is what differentiates this young bird from a White-tailed.  Both have orange bills when juvenile or young.
