Guano islands Along the Peruvian coast is a string of rocky islands and peninsulas that are home to guanay cormorants‚ boobies‚ and pelicans. The birds leave the islands every morning to feed on the fish‚ especially anchovies‚ that are plentiful in the Humboldt Current. They return in the afternoon.

By the time Europeans first saw the islands‚ the guano was more than 100 feet
