| Research Abstract |
We deployed miniaturized video recorders on juvenile brown boobies (Sula leucogaster) to record foraging behavior and social interactions in inaccessible environments. Concomitant with the use of GPS data loggers, the video records showed that the seabirds were likely to gain public information on foraging grounds, which might directly enhance their foraging success and improve foraging and flying skills during their developmental stage, or both.
