Brown Boobies at Dog Island

Dog Island, a satellite of Anguilla is an Important Bird Area, hosting many species of seabird. In some species, the number of breeding pairs on Dog Island represents a significant portion of the entire Caribbean population. It looks like the brown booby is listed at about 1,200 pairs on the island. That’s not a huge number, but because they nest in open areas along the coast they were highly visible. Right now they are pretty much all incubating eggs, although a couple very young chicks were seen.
