Some Seabirds Of Gull Island--Two Images

Witless Bay Ecological Reserve

These shots were also taken from the sightseeing boat. In the top image, in addition to puffins, the large standing bird is a common murre.
The two birds sitting in the middle are razorbills. At the top left partly obscured is a black-legged kittiwake, a species of gull.

In the bottom image is a colony of common murres with a few black-legged kittiwakes nesting in the cliffs on the middle left hand side.

Great perspective! WOW! That bottom photo really puts things in perspective. That's a lot of birds in one place! Must have been quite the smell and sound!!

What a sight to see! There is so much to see in these shots and it's all so detailed. That whole place is just peppered with them. I can even see the shadow of one flying over in the bottom picture at the top. This is a wonderful scene Jay! \/

Wow, that is some shot! Love those birds. Quite a mixture and I'm betting that the island doesn't smell too great. The second shot is amazing! Wow! That's a LOT of birds!V
