You got a lot more seabirds on your Brier Island pelagic than I did on our whale-watching excursion in 2008! We didn't get any fulmars or storm-petrels. I really need to go on another excursion the next time I'm in Nova Scotia!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8130980035846282323.post-20927092755198563232011-09-09T11:23:59.751-04:002011-09-09T11:23:59.751-04:00Thanks Dwayne.

Good luck if you go.<br /><br />Brian - I usually don't take pictures at Van Wagner's because many of the birds are much to distant. However, occasionally birds come right overhead, so it pays to have your camera ready!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8130980035846282323.post-45395620828834918532011-09-08T23:01:44.050-04:002011-09-08T23:01:44.050-04:00Nice shots Josh.

I was there a couple Saturday's ago, and got no more than sunrise pictures. But a friend and I headed into the ponds there with not really any success. Where are you planning to photograph? Right along the shore?Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09218323136874256521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8130980035846282323.post-21855900064048809822011-09-08T20:43:18.280-04:002011-09-08T20:43:18.280-04:00Wow...
