hanging-in
Conditions change all the time at Bonaventure Island. Today, the wind was from the east and the birds were dropping from the sky with all the air-brakes in effect as they landed. This time of year it is rare to see birds bringing in nest material but the failed breeders will be keeping up their nests.
This image was cropped a little from the right, dodged over the face to lighten, and sharpened.
