Northern Gannet (Morus Bassanus) - 26Jan2019

It is rare for me to be awe inspired, but watching a huge feeding frenzy of Northern Gannets frequently does this for me. Watching them rain down in a tight knit group on a school of baitfish can be really entertaining and leaves me wondering how many of them get injured or killed.

Here is an adult as seen on a Hatteras Pelagic trip off Diamond Shoals.


And an immature bird on the same day.
