2025-06 Newfoundland

+

This was my second trip with Akari Photo Tours and Kevin Pepper. Seabirds of Newfoundland was the name of the tour and it certainly lived up to that. Wendy and I arrived a couple days early in St. John's and enjoyed that city. Then we drove all over the dang place and stayed at a comfortable inn and then a VRBO style accommodation.

The people of Newfoundland were uniformly nice and some of them spoke with such a heavy accent that they were hard to follow, but they always had a smile on their faces.

The Gannet colony was said to have 7000 nesting pairs. This is down from twice that many. The cause? Bird flu. It wiped half of them out almost overnight. Their numbers are recovering.
