• Other birds recorded on the cays include masked and brown boobies, silver gulls, black-naped, sooty, bridled, greater crested, lesser crested and little terns, black and common noddies, and lesser frigatebirds.
• Tropicbirds were traditionally grouped in the order Pelecaniformes, which contained the pelicans, cormorants and shags, darters, gannets and boobies and frigatebirds; in the Sibley–Ahlquist taxonomy, the Pelecaniformes were united with other groups into a large "Ciconiiformes".
• Gannets are seabirds comprising the genus Morus in the family Sulidae, closely related to boobies, commonly named 'gugas' in Scotland.
• Owing to this, boobies are often mentioned as having been caught and eaten by shipwrecked sailors, notably William Bligh of the Bounty and his adherents during their famous voyage after being set adrift by Fletcher Christian and his followers.
• However, Sula (true boobies) and Morus (gannets) can be readily distinguished by morphological, behavioral, and DNA sequence characters.
• The rocky islet and the nearby Surprise are suddenly struck by intense squalls; Nicolls drowns and Stephen survives for two days on bird-fouled water and the blood of the resident boobies.
• The plant communities and rocky outcrops provide nesting and perching areas for 18 species of seabirds, such as red-footed boobies and brown noddies, terns, shearwaters, and petrels.
• An expedition in 2018 estimated the island was home to as many as 3000 roosting red-footed boobies, a population of brown boobies, a significant colony of wedge tailed shearwaters, as well as around 6500 nesting pairs of lesser noddies.
• The island is an important breeding site for seabirds such as red-billed tropicbirds, Audubon's shearwaters, brown boobies, laughing gulls, brown noddies, sooty and bridled terns.
• Other resident birds include brown boobies, neotropic cormorants, great egrets and black-crowned night-herons, as well as an endemic subspecies of streaked saltator.
• This bay is a good location to spot brown pelicans, golden rays, Marine iguanas, herons, lava gulls, Frigatebirds, Galápagos sea lions, and large numbers of Blue-footed boobies, which fish by spectacular plunge diving.
• Early Sulidae fossils most resembled the boobies, although they were more aquatic, with the gannets splitting off later, about 16 million years ago.
• Other species of birds seen in the island are turnstones, spoonbills, skimmers, waders, and other shorebirds, gulls, terns, frigatebirds, and boobies.
• This island hosts frigatebirds, Galápagos sea lions, Galápagos tortoises, blue and red footed boobies, tropicbirds, marine iguanas, dolphins and swallow-tailed gulls.
• Saint Giles, along with adjacent rock islets, has been designated an Important Bird Area (IBA) by BirdLife International because it supports significant populations of red-billed tropicbirds, Audubon's Shearwaters and magnificent frigatebirds, as well as red-footed, brown and masked boobies.
• Approximately 15,000 brown boobies, 2,000 red-footed boobies (Sula sula), 2,000 brown noddies (Anous stolidus), 1,500 bridled terns (Onychoprion anaethetus), and hundreds of magnificent frigatebirds (Fregata magnificens), laughing gulls (Larus atricilla), and sooty terns (Onychoprion fuscatus) nested here.
• Laysan albatrosses, red-footed boobies, brown boobies, red-tailed and white-tailed tropicbirds, great frigatebirds, and wedge-tailed shearwaters all visit the refuge.
• In 1998, Pitman and colleagues observed that Nazca boobies on Clipperton Island did not interbreed with masked boobies there.
• Their name probably derives from the fact that they harass other sea birds such as boobies and tropicbirds as they return to their nests from feeding, forcing them to disgorge their catch, which is then swooped upon and caught by the frigate birds before it reaches the water below.
• The closely related masked and Nazca boobies are both obligately siblicidal species, while the blue-footed booby is a facultatively siblicidal species.
