Field Notes

Habitat:

along coasts and islands in tropical and subtropical waters. They nest and roost in mangrove cays on coral reefs and in low trees and shrubs on islands

Notes:

A bit blurry as they were soaring quite high. Noticed 2 juveniles (with the white head and chest) as my Christmas cruise passed along the tip of Haiti.
