Jonathan:

The common large bird that dives like that is the Northern Gannet.  The =
nearest colony is on the Magdalen Islands (visible from Pollets Cove) =
and there are large nesting colonies on Bonaventure Island off the Gaspe =
Peninsula in Quebec and Cape St Marys in southeastern Newfoundland. =20

Throughout the summer dozens to hundreds fish off Cape Breton.  Wherever =
there is a large fish run, gannets congregate.

One of the bird spectacles of the year in Cape Breton is the =
concentration of gannets fishing for skipjack (aka bill fish or needle =
fish) at the Canso Causeway in very late October and early November.

looking for help identifying birds we observed in cape breton last week

on a hike to pollets cove we sat for more than half an hour and watched =
the
birds dive over and over

they were half a kilometer out to sea, and were diving each time for a =
good
second and a half, hitting the water with a
big splash, then sitting on the wajter

just curious what we were looking at - any help greatly appreciated

thanks

jonathan riley (now 4500 km away in germany)
