Gull ratio here was 570 Bonaparte's, 330 Herring, 46 Ring-billed, 45 Great Black-backed. A quick tally of about 200 Seals ( likely Grey) were just offshore. > > At Caribou I. lighthouse area, I photographed a Baird's Sandpiper with a few other shorebirds in the kelp. Gulls counts loafing at this end of the island were 550 Herring, 490 Great Black-backed, 450 Bonaparte's, 10 Ring-billed. A few Common Terns were mixed in with the gulls. Seal head tally here was 250 again mostly grey seals although I thought I also noted a harbour seal. > > I could see about 250 Northern Gannets around the south side of Pictou I. > > > Guess the herring must be in. > > cheers > Ken > > > >
