OTHER SEABIRDS and RELATED SPECIES

Some of the birds in this category have never seen the sea, but this gallery contains several families which have some connection. They range from highly pelagic, such as tropicbirds, to such as Cormorants, which are found in many environments but frequently marine. I haven't included seaducks as they are found in the duck gallery, but will include grebes (not that I have photographed many) as some winter at sea. Taxonomy is as per IOC, but not the sequence, as I feel the old "Voous" order is engrained in most people's minds. Last update April 2024.
