Bird Photography Weekly #48






Northern Gannet (Morus bassanus)


On Sunday, Pamela and I decided to join a Mass Audubon Seabird and Whale Watch trip starting out of Newburyport, MA and heading out towards Jeffrey's Ledge. We were socked in by fog for a good part of the trip, so seabird counts were a bit low. We did have plenty of immature and sub-adult gannets though, as well as a few adults - many of which were following a trawler along with hundreds of gulls. These are certainly far from my best photos I've taken, but they're the best I've got yet for these members of the booby family.
