Whale watching trips on fishing boats also include bird watching and bird feeding! Our captain provided chum to attract the birds and this is what happened. Herring Gulls from all over New Brunswick (or so it seemed) arrived, along with Greater, Manx and Sooty Shearwaters. The smaller shearwaters had the sense to stay out of the way, but the Greater Shearwaters got in on the action.
You can see that they watched us as carefully as we watched them, waiting for the next food arrival :)
Grand Manan, New Brunswick. July 2013.
Grand Manan has a rich maritime history. By 1851, most of the island’s population of 1,200 was involved in the working waterfront; men fished and women pickled and cured herring. Innovative fishing and seaweed harvesting techniques were developed, including weir fishing, torch fishing, and lobster fishing, with the introduction of lobster traps in 1870.
The island’s fishing industry changed with the end of smoked herring in the late 20th century, but it still lives in lobstering, scalloping, weir fishing, dulse harvesting, and pen salmon aquaculture. (Island Institute)

Cool bridge there in New Brunswick by the Bay of Fundy. Captured with the CPL filter.
Happy Fence Friday
Sunset over Saint Andrews-by-the-Sea, New Brunswick. The moored boat is the Thunderbolt, that I captured in several other photos, including one on her way into port.
We found this old convent on the way to Shediac and it had lovely outside chapels scattered over the grounds.
Grand Falls is a town located in Victoria County, New Brunswick, Canada. Grand Falls is situated on the Saint John River. The town derives its name from a waterfall created by a series of rock ledges over which the river drops 23 metres.
Finally got out for some photos. I have been busy learning loads of Irish tunes on the banjo.
Took my son and daughter to see The Rocks to inspect the cave-ins that happened this past winter and spring. Quite a lot of erosion going on, to say the least. I liked the way the sun hit this rock.
A group of fishing boats moored far from shore, in deeper water, at low tide. St. Andrews-By-The-Sea, New Brunswick, Canada.
A foggy morning departure from St. Andrews-By-The-Sea, New Brunswick, Canada. Foggy or not departure for the fleet depends on the tides. If you miss high tide you're stuck in Port for 6 hours until the next tide.
GPS took us down a brutal logging road to enjoy remarkable scallops. Fortunately we were in a safe place when we discovered one of our tirea was nearly shredded during the journey.
Curious how many people were weirded out by me in the park, hunched over the moss taking photos 😆
