Kittiwakes for Worldbird Wednesday

.
On May 19, 2012, my daughter and I took a boat tour with O'Briens out of Bulls Bay, Newfoundland.The tour took us out to the Witless Bay Ecological Reserve.  We saw thousands, upon thousands of birds, including, Atlantic Puffins, Common Murre and thousands of cliff nesting Kittiwakes.  The sightings of the Kittiwakes on Green Island were fabulous.  from the boat we were able to take many, many pictures, some of which I include for your viewing today

    Sea bird colonies are some of the best places to go birding - nice set of pictures.
