While the term rookery may have come from the nesting habits of rooks, it is not reserved for corvids. Rooks – northern-European and central-Asian members of the crow family – nest in prominent colonies (multiple nests) at the tops of trees.
The breeding grounds of colony-forming seabirds and marine mammals (true seals or sea lions) and even some turtles are also referred to as rookeries.
TYPES OF BIRDS THAT ARE MOST FAMILIAR IN ROOKERIES INCLUDE:
Anhingas
Cormorants
Darters
Egrets
Herons
Ibises
Night-herons
Several types of corvids, including oropendulas, rooks, and different crows, also nest in rookeries.
