Tropicbird
Wednesday was a pretty day on the water with a make-up group. We started off with our marlin gear out and soon hooked a tuna. Imagine that... We caught the tuna and then a dolphin. While trolling around we had an encounter with a White-tailed Tropicbird (Phaethon lepturus). A rarely seen bird off the carolina coast. He hung around the boat for a few minutes and let us get a good look at him. If you enlarge the picture above you can see the bird. We finished off the trip catching a few tilefish. Thanks
