Notes

Park Species Detail: O'Connor & Rauzon counted about 1000 individual brown noddies on and around Tutuila in 2003, where they nested on cliffs and offshore rocks. In the Tutuila unit of NPSA, they were found to be primarily coastal cliff nesters, with 38% found in or over Park property. Engbring & Ramsey found colonies around Amalau Bay and Pola Islet (both in NPSA)., Park Species Data Source: NATUREBIB-601628, O'Connor & Rauzon 2004; NATUREBIB-3284, Engbring & Ramsey 1989
