Bird Photos / Greater Shearwater

Last update: 9/7/2016

Joyce and I saw several groups of Greater Shearwaters in the Bay of Maine during a whale watching tour out of Bar Harbor on June 26th, 2010. The boat did not slow down for the birds, so I had to snap these photos quickly as we sped by. It was very foggy, so it was hard to get good shots.

I went on a pelagic bird trip into the Atlantic Ocean on August 15th, 2010. We went to Maryland and Delaware waters out to about 60 miles off shore. Conditions were nearly perfect, and I got much better photos of the Greater Shearwaters on this cruise.
