Birthday gift on the Bay of Fundy








Hi Everyone
Another great day on the water. Today was my husband Jamies's and Nicoles birthday (who is one of the naturalists on board the boat) so i surprised them with a big poster, cupcakes,pop and our whole boat sang Happy Birthday! We sighted Squiggle and calf with Flame hanging out. Then we travelled toward western light and sighted Foggy and Peajack playing in the rockweed. You could say it was their day at the spa, a seaweed wrap. Peajack was upside down when he brought his tail out as you can see if the pictures! We also sighted alot of Harbor Porpoise today and some grey seals popping their heads up and sunning themselves. Some of the seabirds we sighted were: 1 Puffin that scurried to get out of Peajack's way. Sooty and Greater Shearwaters, 1 common tern, Northern Gannets, clouds of red and red-necked phalaropes, wilson storm-petrel, 1 Northern Fulmar, 1 Manx Shearwater and 4 Barn Swallows go figure!
