Where to spot
Found in tropical and subtropical waters worldwide, nesting on remote islands, atolls, and coastal cliffs across the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian Oceans.
How to spot
Identify by its striking two-toned plumage (dark brown above, pure white below) and pointed bill. Look for them flying low over the water, perched on buoys, or resting on coastal structures. Observe their characteristic plunge-dives for fish.
When to spot
Present year-round throughout its tropical range. Best observed near nesting colonies during breeding season, or foraging over inshore and offshore waters during daylight hours.

Unlike many booby species, Brown Boobies often forage closer to shore and are known to follow fishing boats, opportunistically feeding on discarded bycatch, showcasing their adaptability.
