Range (Tropical coasts Atlantic)

Tropical coasts; Atlantic coasts of tropical America, West Indies, Bahamas, Bermudas; casual in Florida and accidental in western New York and Nova Scotia.

This species breeds abundantly in the limestone cliffs of the Bermudas, but is of rare and probably accidental occurrence on our coasts. The RED-BILLED TROPIC BIRD (113. Phaëthon æthereus) resembles the preceding species, but has the bill red and the upper parts finely barred with black. Its range in the Atlantic is more southern than that of the Yellowbilled Tropic Bird, and in eastern North America it is accidental. The only record of its occurrence is off the Newfoundland Banks.
