Fauna
The island was named by sailors who were amazed at the number of birds that they found living and nesting there. It forms part of Antigua’s Offshore Islands Important Bird Area (IBA), designated as such by BirdLife International because it supports significant populations of various bird species, including West Indian whistling-ducks, brown pelicans, laughing gulls, and least and royal terns.[2]
