pelagic birding
Here are some pictures from a spring pelagic birding trip, with NH Audubon, with Granite State Whale Watch. There are a couple humpback whale pics (I had some nice video, but short of putting it up on YouTube, I'm not really sure how to post it here.
Not too many birds...its early in the season, and birds and whales are still migrating in.
Awesome views of a Northern Fulmar (ABA bird), Red-necked Phalaropes, and 3 Humpbacked Whales. Also, Wilson's Storm-petrals, a Sooty Shearwater or two, Northern Gannets, and Black Guillemots.
Weather was great, even though there was a ton of smoke from the Quebec wildfires.
