Adorable Brown Noddy Chicks in the Picturesque Setting of Midway, Hawaiian Islands (00004911)
(4)
Description: The Noddy Seabirds, also known as Brown Noddys (Anous stolidus pileatus), are fascinating seabirds native to the Hawaiian Islands, specifically Midway. These dark-feathered birds primarily feed on smaller fish and plankton, which they skillfully pick up from the water's surface. Noddy Seabirds are colonial creatures and often hunt together in flocks. The females lay a single egg each breeding season, from which the energetic chick hatches and is carefully protected by the parents.
