"The Gannet Colony"

Thousands of Gannets occupy the ecological bird sanctuary at Cape St. Mary's. http://www.env.gov.nl.ca/parks/wer/r_csme/

It is spectacular the view of the animals you receive on a sunny day at The Cape. The sounds of the birds are constant and loud as you watch them carry on their everyday lives. They can mesmerize you with their acrobatics in flight and you can sit and watch them for hours....as I did! I didn't make it to this area by boat today because of persistent fog in the am but the fog lifted at around 1430h and I drove to The Cape to enjoy the rest of the day there.
