Northern Gannet
[Morus bassanus]

[Length 37 in. Wingspan 72 in.]

Northern Gannets occur in eastern North America and western and northern Europe. In North America they breed in large colonies on coastal cliffs in northeastern Canada, and winter at sea and along the eastern and southern coasts of the US. Gannets are easily identified in flight because they are "pointed" at all four ends. They feed on small fish by diving headfirst into the water (often from 50 to 100 feet in the air) with their wings trailing behind, which makes them look like large feathered "spears". This Northern Gannet was photographed at the Cape St. Mary's gannetry in Newfoundland, Canada. Photo taken with a Nikkor 300mm EDAF f4 lens and 2X teleconverter on Kodachrome 200 film. (Date: July 1994)
