Newfoundland 2 - Cape St.Mary's

This ecological reserve protects nesting seabirds, and provides visitors with unparalleled access to view and photograph this unique site.  Bird Rock is covered with thousands of Northern Gannets (sula bassanus).  I arrived late one evening in the fog and was encouraged to still 'go see' by the staff, and they were right!  The next morning was clear and I spent four hours photographing and just watching the birds soar overhead.  A truly amazing place.  Watch for the crows stealing eggs from the murres and kitiwakes.
