[Maine-birds] Red-billed Tropicbird

Red-billed Tropicbird seen with in 30 feet during Old Quarry Ocean Adventures puffin trip to Seal Island today. I think we have the bird figured out now. If you would like to see this bird, schedule to go on one of our puffin trips over the next month, but wait to see if it is going to be a sunny day. This will increase your chance enormorously from 50% chance of our last 6 trips to look for it. We missed the bird on Tuesday due to a fog bank and cold front, but on that day we saw 2 Cory Shearwaters, 15 Great Shearwaters and 10 Sooty Shearwaters, a leucistic Great Black-backed Gull and a Northern Gannet. Both days we saw the nesting birds of Seal Island including Razorbills, Atlantic Puffins, Great Cormorants and Arctic Terns. I'll try to post pictures as I get them.
