Along the shores of the Gaspe Pennisula in Quebec, Canada are a series of islands with protected wildlife. Ile aux Bonaventure has the world's largest, accessible, colony of Northern Gannets in the world. After a mile long hike along a trail, you reach the colony, with thousands of Gannets feeding their chicks, grooming, mating.
About The Photographer
After taking an early retirement from teaching art at a small rural high school in Northern Vermont, I knew what I wanted to do with my time. I wanted to visit and photograph as many of nature's wonders as time and money would allow. I felt a particular urgency to see some of the wildlife that is threatened by climate change. I wanted to be witness to the elegance and grandeur that future generations might miss.
