Great Shearwater feeding frenzy, Hatches Harbor, Provincetown, MA - 29 August 2017
Observation details
^ At one point early they were passing westbound at a rate as high as 800/minute! Given the nearly calm conditions, many were sitting on the water, as far as I could see to the south toward Wood End and as far to the east.. While I was kneeling near the waterline photographing the surf-feeding birds off Hatches Harbor, a GRSH hit me in the back and got tangled up in my feet!
