Hundreds of Gannets flew by the beach at Cape May, NJ on November 15th, 2008. They were very close to the shoreline.

The Gannets were often mingled with flocks of Surf and Black Scoters.

These Gannets appear to be chasing a Long Tailed Duck.

Several Gannets hung around the back of the boat during a pelagic (sea bird) cruise I took on December 13th, 2008. We were in Delaware waters maybe 15-20 miles offshore from Lewes.
