Since at least August 9th there have been a number of Northern Gannets very=
close to shore in the Pubnico Area. I was watching them go into Pubnico Ha=
rbour=2C then make a turn and head back out towards sea. They were also pas=
sing near shore from Pubnico Point all the way north until Abbotts Harbour =
Wharf. Ervin Olsen saw one land in the water off of Cook's Beach near Pinkn=
ey's Point recently. Frank Gummett also mentioned to me that he had four in=
Halifax Harbour on August 11.=20

A CBC article from July discusses multiple gannets found dead in the Mariti=
mes.

I can assume that the near shore sightings of gannets must be food related.=
Is there more food near shore than usual=2C or is there less food offshore=
? I was scoping around where I was seeing the gannets and didn't see any ot=
her species that are typically farther offshore.

Has anyone else noticed this?=20
