These are a few of the pictures I took during the Brookline Bird Club's Pelagic Birding Trip, November 13th, 2005.
![]() A Northern Gannet flying near the boat |
![]() Another Northern Gannet in flight |
![]() A vertically-oriented shot of a flying gannet. |
![]() A gannet and a gull captured in the same shot; amazingly, both are in decent focus |
The best of the many pictures I took of a swimming Greater Shearwater. |
A decent picture of a Greater Shearwater in flight. |
![]() The piece de resistance: a Pomarine Jaeger caught in flight, fairly close to the boat. Not a great shot, but good enough that you can tell what it is. |
![]() Finally, a picture of a jaeger (I think - it looks right) on the water. By sheer luck the sparkles of sunlight surrounded the bird without making my camera's lightmeter freak out, as it usually did when this close to the sunlight-stream. |
