Heading out to find the Gannetts ...

The van is now full as we have picked up both Bonnie and Kelly [used to be Klimic, when she lived here in the 80's, she now lives in St. John's].

We are heading down to Cape St Mary's to see the nesting area for the Gannetts; they were getting ready to fly off but there was still a wide range of chick ages.
 

 
Then we walked the Cataracts ... there is a board walk that takes you down across and back up over this river ... then we drove over the bridge.

Next trip is to the Bay Bulls were Kelly is working in the park, East Coast Trails.

 This is part of the eastern coastal trail of the Avalone Peninsula .. over 200 miles long!
We met several groups hiking this section on a beautiful Sept. day.

A off shore oil-rig supply boat passing by.

 Nfld has amazing trail systems ..

 Soon we say goodbye to some of our crew but there is still more of the Avalone to see.
