Observation details
A redtailed Tropicbird was hand-caught by a farmer in a ricefield in Delfin Albano, Isabela Province on 16 September 2018, 1 day after Typhoon Mangkhut made landfall in northern Luzon. Presumably the bird was blown inwards by the typhoon. The bird was turned over to Luz Soriano of DENR Cabagan who brought it to me for identification. I made several photos and took measurements. After 1 week we brought the bird to Aparri to release it but it was still too weak to fly. After another week of feeding on fish it was released by DENR Aparri in the Babuyan Channel.
