Northern Gannets
Vacation finally arrived and my husband, Bernie and I went out to visit Bonaventure Island. This Quebec Provincial Park, located in Percé Quebec, is the largest Northern Gannet colony in North America.
Gannets are members of the sulidae family. Over 125,000 Gannets arrive at Bonaventure Island in April to reproduce.
They mate for life, each year returning to the same nest, both parents take turn brooding their single egg during 45 days.
The pairs greet each other ceremoniously whenever one of them returns from sea.
In October, the gannets depart for the Gulf of Mexico.
These magnificent seabirds symbolize lifelong faithfulness.
