Hi all,
Just wanted to let you know that the Red-billed Tropicbird is back on Seal Island NWR! Today's sighting ties my earliest arrival date and marks his 15th summer in the Gulf of Maine! If you are interested in seeing this bird I would recommend getting in touch with John Drury or Old Quarry Ocean Adventures. He likely won't become consistent until the end of May or beginning of June. Nonetheless he is back!
