around 9am, 3-4 are flying over the water near the Morain trail. fair size and clear black wingtips were obvious.
I took a trip out to the Farallon Islands with the Oceanic Society. They knew to look for the Northern Gannet. It was first seen in flight and then landed on Sugarloaf Island.
A Northern Gannet in Myrtle Beach, SC.
Single bird seen from Rottnest while waiting for ferry, then several more as we sailed back to Fremantle.
Gannets are seabirds in the family Sulidae, closely related to the boobies.
