    Red-billed Tropicbird / Phaethon aethereus

    Wanderer: Aug 31, 1986 at Mount Desert Rock

    Miscellany: This tropical seabird is an extreme rarity anywhere in the New England but amazingly a single male Red-billed Tropicbird, presumably the same bird as they're long lived, spent part of the last 16 summers (through 2021) on Seal Island, Knox Co., Maine.
