Congratulations Paul!
I'm prepping for a pelagic trip out of New York we're running this weekend so I thought I'd toss up a Northern Gannet shot I took earlier this month. This is a sub-adult, probably third winter, showing an adult head and underparts but still molting in its back, wings, and tail. One thing I love about these winter trips is that you usually get a lot of passes from Gannets in flight, but the adults are a lot more common so I'm always thrilled to get a decent shot of one of the younger birds.
Nikon D7000, Nikkor 300mm f/4D IF-ED + TC1.4 II, 420mm total (630mm effective3)
ISO 800, f/7.1, 1/3200
