Brown Noddy
FWC
More than 2,000 pairs of Brown Noddies nest on Bush Key within Dry Tortugas National Park. The Brown Noddy is a tern that associates with other tern species, especially the Sooty Tern. Brown Noddies lay a single egg each year and nest close together in tightly packed colonies. Records outside of the Florida Keys are usually as a result of storm blown birds during the hurricane season. Brown Noddies have been recorded in recent years at Lighthouse Point Park and Sebastian Inlet State Park.
