A visit to Cape St Mary's on the south east coast of the Avalon Peninsula yields a whole lot of fun experiences watching Northern Gannets fly and interact with each other at one of Canada's busiest breeding colony...well worth the drive from St John's and the hike in from the parking lot, there's a gazillion ways to be entertained. This Gannet is focused on its intent to land safely!!!
