Like Bob Paxton I was initially puzzled by the square shape of the white wedge, especially in first image (ML94655071) but accept it looks a little better in the second image (ML94655101). Is it correc to assume the dark blob is the heavy barring on the upperside of the tail? I considered Greater

I have visited the several hundred thousand strong N. Gannet colony on Bonaventure Island at the tip of Quebec’s Gaspe Peninsula. I would assume many of the gannets migrating along the east coast do make it to that colony (but just an assumption).
