Brewster's brown booby

Sula brewsteri

Brewster's brown booby is a seabird found in the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean. It is a medium-sized bird with a wingspan of around 1 meter. The plumage of adults is predominantly brown with a white belly and a pale blue bill. They are known for their spectacular plunge-diving to catch fish, often seen in small groups near coastal areas. These birds are highly adapted for a marine lifestyle, with webbed feet and excellent flying and diving abilities. They nest on remote islands and coastal cliffs, often in large colonies. Their populations are vulnerable to disturbance and habitat loss.
