Northern Gannets

Île-Bonaventure, Gaspésie, Quebec

Some surprising behavior: that's the fly-covered remains of a dead chick in the foreground, in what appears to be an abandoned nest. I don't know why it was still there instead of being removed (or eaten), but the other birds were ignoring it completely.
