A widespread seabird of tropical waters, the Brown Booby ranges as far north as the Gulf of California, and rarely to both coasts of the United States. Like other boobies, it feeds with spectacular plunges into the sea.
At breeding colony, female issues a loud honk. Male makes a high-pitched whistling sound.
