| Remarks : | Very common on Christmas Island, this is the smallest booby at about 70cm to 80cm. They fly, feed and perch in flocks. Their red feet really stand out against the white plumage especially when perched. They are very approachable when perched and can be quite noisy with a grating "kraak kraak" call. - DL |
