I took my second whale watch trip out of Gloucester, this time searching (unsuccessfully) for Jaegers and other fall pelagic seabirds. A very cooperative young Peregrine Falcon circled over the boat on three separate occasions while we were still docked. Although it harassed many pigeons, it never made a successful catch under my watch. Although the weather was much nicer than my August trip, the seabirds were few and far between on Tilly's Ledge. The whales, however, were close, numerous, and active (again, a point-and-shoot probably would be a better option than a 400 mm lens for them). 2 Northern Fulmars- first a dark, then a light morph- were the seabirds highlights and a life bird for me. I managed a quick shot of the dark morph as it flew away, but it certainly isn't my best work.
