Birding the Witless Bay Ecological Reserve in Newfoundland

10,000 Birds

Sea otters put on a playful dance show for us, and proceeded to laze about on the rocks, which we interpreted as posing for the camera. We later signed up for a whale and birdwatching tour with Captain Wayne , who had a smallish 12-person boat. He must have been after capelin. Sunrise over Witless Bay. Happy puffins.

10,000 Birds
