As of today, past peak, season runs to ~July 31. Earth Exhibit tracks the live conditions and flags it the moment it is on.
Atol das Rocas (Rocas Atoll) hosts one of the largest tropical seabird breeding aggregations in the South Atlantic, including masked booby, brown booby, brown and black noddies, and sooty tern.
Birds nest on the two small islets (Ilha do Farol and Ilha do Cemitério); timing and intensity vary by species and year and access is strictly controlled for conservation.
