I took this picture while visiting Bonaventure Island during a 2 week trip to Gaspésie. When a Gannet returns to the nest, the mates will greet each other by fencing with their beaks. Although there were many birds displaying this behaviour, I had a hard time finding a pair that would perform perpendicular to my position to ensure nice, even lighting and a pleasing pose.
