"The large range and apparently stable population indicate that the red-tailed tropicbird is classified as a least-concern species according to the IUCN" That is a very strange way to put it. It doesn't indicate anything, it is the reason it is classified as such.
they either go on short or long foraging trips with no in between lengths. If you can think of an equally succinct way to say it I am all ears. Also there is a nice picture at the top of the target article.Cas Liber (
