This is an amalgamation<br /> <br /> Black-footed Albatross http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black-footed_Albatross Arguably &quot;Black Albatross&quot; is more accurate, but there are sometimes white individuals, so I guess that's out<br /> <br /> Storm-petrel http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Storm-petrel There are many varieties, but I prefer the generic name, sans any modifiers<br /> <br /> Diving-petrel http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pelecanoididae &quot;There are four very similar species all in the family Pelecanoididae and genus Pelecanoides Lacépède, 1799, distinguished only by small differences in the coloration of their plumage and their bill construction&quot; Excellent.

Take your pick.<br /> <br /> ==Pelicaniformes (Pelicans, cormorants and allies)==<br /> <br /> Great White Pelican http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_White_Pelican Ought to give players a fright, if the game window is too narrow to display &quot;pelican&quot; and simply shows a &quot;Great White&quot; hanging out in a pond<br /> <br /> Brown Pelican http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brown_Pelican <br /> <br /> Pink-backed Pelican http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pink-backed_Pelican Chosen to add a bit of colour<br /> <br /> Magnificent Frigatebird http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnificent_Frigatebird Frigatebirds are mostly all the same, so I went with the one with the best name.<br /> <br /> Gannet http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northern_Gannet Generalised species<br /> <br /> Blue-Footed Booby http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue-footed_Booby<br /> <br /> Masked Booby http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Masked_Booby Largest booby.

Accurate name.<br /> <br /> Spectacled Cormorant http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spectacled_Cormorant Similar to above, but could apparantly fly poorly. Recently (1700s) extinct. Rather tasty, apparantly<br /> <br /> Imperial Shag http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imperial_Shag Note that Shag/Cormorant is interchangable<br /> <br /> Great Cormorant http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Cormorant Found inland, as well as on the coast in many regions. A generic kind of cormorant<br /> <br /> Green Shag http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Shag Combination of the names &quot;Shag&quot; and &quot;Green Cormorant&quot;<br /> <br /> Little Cormorant http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_Cormorant Tropical species - used for fishing.<br /> <br /> ==Phaetoniformes (Tropicbirds)==<br /> <br /> Tropicbird http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red-billed_Tropicbird There are only three species of bird in this entire order and I felt it would be strange to be so detailed about them.
