Media notes
Documentation photo. Flying towards the center of the bay. Black wingtips contrasted with the otherwise white plumage.
Observation details
Saw one gannet initially flying back and forth high over the bay. Eventually, saw a total of four adult Northern Gannets, all flying over the bay fairly far from shore. All birds appeared to be full adults, with the huge size, cross-like shape, and black wingtips, which contrasted with the otherwise white plumage. Viewed with a spotting scope and a few distant photos were obtained.
