Red-tailed Tropicbird, Phaethon rubricauda


Red-tailed Tropicbird
Red-tailed Tropicbirds nest on islands throughout the tropics and subtropics of the Pacific and Indian Oceans. They are regularly seen at the north end of Kauai, Hawaii, where I took these photographs in 2007 and 2008, and where I also photographed their near relatives the White-tailed Tropicbird.
