Gannet Colony - Bonaventure Island

Softly and silently a bank of fog creeps across Pierce Rock, towering hundreds of feet above the ocean floor. It stands as a sentinel to Bonaventure Island, a beautiful and magical place where the very air is alive.
 

Bonaventure Island is the home to over 300,000 nesting seabirds. Jacqueline caught a boat to visit this wondrous place where the sky is filled with all manner of seabirds and the cliffs are dotted with thousands of white flecks, which when approached turn out to be what seems like endless birds.
   For a bird watcher its an incredible place, so filled with life its hard to believe. Here you can feel what it would be like to step back to a time before man visited the New World.

Seals bask on wave splashed rocks around the island.

Everywhere one turns there are seabirds - in the air, the sea, the rocks and the cliffs.
