The brown noddy is a member of the tern family. I’ve never seen it on St. Martin, but it can be seen from time to time. Historically, nesting colonies have been recorded in Lay Bay and Pointe Blanche. On Dog Island, the estimate I found online was for 191 breeding pairs, but when we visited there seemed to be thousands of brown noddies, so perhaps there are more now, or perhaps the size of the nesting colony varies from year to year.
