Red-tailed Tropicbird


A Red-tailed Tropicbird swoops in to roost in a cavity in the limestone wall underneath my vantage point.  The thick canopy of the Rarotongan forest canopy fills in the background.

I've seen the same species on Lord Howe Island.  The aerial courtship display is fantastic, as they are very maneuverable.
