Today the outing group are very fortunate to find a tropicbird species.  During on site discussion Red-tailed Tropicbird has been suggested.  On studying some information after I get back home, I think the plumage and small-bill points to white-tailed.  Let's see what other think.

GREAT trip yesterday.... never expected to see a Tropicbird.... and thanks to all involved.

I am just beginning to learn shearwaters as I grew up far away from an ocean. . . . I saw both birds, but "shear" would like another chance.

Did anyone get a photo of the shearwaters as posted:  
Short-tailed Shearwater 1
Streaked Shearwater 1

Thank you
