Northern Gannets

Current Location: Underway. En route to Yarmouth, NS.

Northern Gannets are large seabirds that are known for their spectacular dives to catch fish. They breed in large communities in a handful of locations across the North Atlantic. The largest of these nesting grounds is on the seaward cliffs of Bonaventure Island, just off the coast of Percé.
