PARADISE FOUND! DESERTED BAHAMIAN OUT ISLAND ALL TO OURSELVES!

[@acsbob]

he white-tailed tropicbird (Phaethon lepturus) is a tropicbird. It is the smallest of three closely related seabirds of the tropical oceans and smallest member of the order Phaethontiformes. It is found in the tropical Atlantic, western Pacific and Indian Oceans. It also breeds on some Caribbean islands, and a few pairs have started nesting recently on Little Tobago, joining the red-billed tropicbird colony. In addition to the tropical Atlantic, it nests as far north as Bermuda, where it is locally called a "longtail".[2]

[@SuperDave-vj9en]

Actually, they look like a tern called a Sternidae. Native to that area.

[@Tulasendlesssummer]

Thanks so much for the awesome info!!!

[@elephantwalkersmith1533]

I grew up in Bermuda, these birds were everywhere on Bermuda, and I was very happy to see them on Conception Island. Thanks!

[@plainswanderer3043]

@@Tulasendlesssummer Yes those are White-tailed Tropicbirds! To see one the U.S. it is a rare treat, we do get them very rarely but far from shore. The birds you saw are nesting in the rock crevices. On Bermuda they compete with the very rare Bermuda Petrel for nesting cavities. Artificial nest cavities were made in Bermuda so that only a Bermuda Petrels can enter and nest. The White-tailed Tropicbird has that long tail so the artificial nest cavities aren't suitable for them to nest there. The Bermuda Petrel can nest in those artificial cavities which is a good thing. The petrels were almost extinct but have now come back thanks to the artificial nest cavities. It is still a very, very rare bird. White-tailed Tropicbirds are still not too common in many areas where they are found. The biggest threat to Island birds all over the world are introduced rats, cats and feral hogs. You guys are very luck to have seen those birds!

[@rone2073]

No one ever gives Billy enough credit bc they are always looking at Sierra. But 2 thumbs up to you Billy. You do a fantastic job with everything from the boat, to cooking, fishing ,sailing and everything else you add to this adventure. Keep up the great videos! And don't worry Sierra you do ok aswell. Lol! safe travels.

[@Tulasendlesssummer]

Haha I know right?!?! Well thank you for recognizing the behind the scenes efforts!!

Sierra, you need to do more to protect your youthful look. I am sure you have seen what some of your grandparents generation look like with that gator skin.

Great job. Did a lot of research off conception about 25 years ago. I’m glad it still looks as beautiful as I remember. Thank you for that. I’ll definitely pick up a hat for the oyster barge up here.

Paradise for sure. Jettie getting a ride on Billy’s back was cool. 👍

[@drewamram2160]

Thanks for giving our family awesome, adventurous, educational, family friendly videos to watch together at bedtime! Two of the girls (6 and 7) start asking at supper which "boat video" they can watch before bed. Billy is a "good boat driver who can't cook" lol. Jetty is "awesome, and spoiled" and Sierra is their favorite, the "underwater expert." Thank you for being an amazing role model for my girls and helping feed their learning about marine life. Does this daddy's heart good to see that. You go, girl! We're on the Georgia coast near Savannah, and would always want to know if you came through on the intercoastal.

[@Tulasendlesssummer]

We try to make sure we stay family friendly so that family’s with. Young ones like you can enjoy along with everyone else! Thanks so much for being a part of our crew and tell The your girls we al say hi and Jetty says “Ruff”

[@cugglymonster]

You two should do a video where you stay on an island like this for 24 hours and figure out how you’d survive long term using the resources on the island. Such as utilizing caves/rock formations as shelter/how you would acquire fresh water/catching food.

[@sharonlabrecque6084]

Those birds remind me of the pipers who feed off schools of minnows here in the north atlantic

[@jansmith9922]

The birds are trying to lure you away from their nest with eggs/babies. I see mocking birds do this all the time in the spring, when a black bird gets close to their nest. The black birds will steal the mocking birds eggs to drive the mocking birds out of “their territory”. The Mocking birds are like little fighter jets diving & close turning on the black birds and they triumph in moving the black birds away from their nets & territory. These birds think you will take their babies. Beautiful island. Great job carving a lucky life out for the three of you.
