Notes
Park Species Detail: Gary Wiles stated (pers. comm) that the white-tailed tropicbird may still visit the park. Undoubtedly it was found there in the past, but is now an extirpated breeder on the island. In his 2005 report, Wiles states that this species is regularly attracted to nearshore waters, and that these may roost on land but are not known to breed locally., Park Species Data Source: Gary Wiles, Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife, has done much survey work on Guam; NATUREBIB-621586, Wiles 2005.
