More About Gannets ...
|
"The gannets are part of the family Sulidae. This is a group of seabirds, which is closely related to the boobies".
The three gannet species are now usually placed in the genus Morus, Abbot's Booby in Papasula, and the remaining boobies in Sula, but some authorities consider that all nine species should be considered congeneric, in Sula. At one time, the gannets were considered to be a single species
