A record of a red-footed Booby Sula Sula (L.) from the Cape Verde Islands, with a review of the status of this species in the South Atlantic Ocean
The first Western Palearctic record of a Red-footed Booby Sula sula (L., 1766), a brown whitetailed morph observed on Cima (Cape Verde Islands), is described. The status of this species in the tropical South Atlantic Ocean is evaluated. At present, Fernando de Noronha is the only South Atlantic stro...
