Index of Subjects Hi Dave, Regarding your questions about Northern Gannets, you might like to visit the bird site on the Museum of Natural History web site at: http://museum.gov.ns.ca/mnh/nature/nsbirds/bns0024.htm Most of the birds seen offshore here breed in the Gulf of St. Lawrence (most notably on Bonaventure Island near Perce Rock in the Gaspe region of Quebec) or on islands off eastern Newfoundland. They winter off south-eastern US from Virginia to the Gulf of Mexico. On the Labour Day long weekend during the annual NSBS field trip, several of us noted small numbers of adults steaming south. Last evening while shore-birding at Hartlen's Point, a single immature bird was observed close to shore, also southbound. Hope this helps. Cheers, Bob McDonald Halifax ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dave/Sharon" <dash.bi@ns.sympatico.ca> To: <naturens@chebucto.ns.ca> Sent: Tuesday, September 16, 2008 10:08 PM Subject: [NatureNS] Broad wings & Gannets. > Lots of B Wing hawks over Brier today. > While I sat at our RV overlooking Fundy today I took a half hour count on > the Gannets passing to the south.
