A female brown booby overflies the shoreline observing the surf. One of three species of boobies common in waters throughout the Hawaiian archipelago; all known by the same Hawaiian name, ‘ā, which resembles its call. The brown booby is usually observed flying solo, but will gather in groups when plunge diving to feed on fish and squid.
These sea birds (Sula leucogaster) roost on the cliffs in the northernmost corner of the island. This is an adult. Most of the birds were juveniles. Not the most attractive species (they look like gannets, but not as pretty), but it was fun to watch them swoop along the cliffs, which allowed for an "eye-level" flight capture.
