Between May and September, seabirds venture onto land to
nest. Often the nests are on inaccessible islands and cliff faces.
On Bonaventure Island, Quebec you can take a boat out to
the island, hike across through deep, sun-speckled woods and
emerge squinting and blinking into the bright sunshine at the
top of a cliff. Ahead of you is nothing but the North Atlantic
but all around you, as far as the eye can see, are millions and
millions of squeaking and squealing Northern Gannets. More
birds in one place than I have ever seen before or since!
The life histories of some seabirds are not completely
known, so they can seem mysterious and romantic. There is
much to study and so many opportunities to look for these
lovely birds. You could start today!
