Great Shearwater running down the backside of a rolling wave to pick up enough speed to get airborne. From my #pelagic birding tour in the #BayofFundy.

A mostly white seabird with pink legs and feet and brown feathers through its wings and on its tail and head cap is splashing down from left to right in the churning sea water. Its head is submerged as it chases a morsel of food under the surface.

To attract as many seabirds as possible on my #pelagic birding tour in the #BayofFundy last month, we tossed bits of chopped up fish behind the boat. Here a Great Shearwater is diving for a piece of this chum.

I recently went on a #pelagic birding tour near Grand Manan Island in the #BayofFundy. Saw lots of cool birds. Going to post a bit more than normal over the coming weeks to share some photos of them.
