A Window Back: Photography in a Whaling Port, by Nicholas Whitman
Spinner Publication Inc. 1994, page 51. ISBN 0932027-180

This photo of the Bark Tropic Bird was taken in 1876 on the New Bedford waterfront. Photographer unknown. This might be the only photo of the Bark Tropic Bird.

I was lucky when I decided to buy this book. I had no idea there was a photo of the Bark Tropic Bird in the book before it arrived earlier today.

Note: This is essentially the same photo I used in my April 20, 2009 post. It is however, I feel, a better version.
