PhotosNovember 12, 2013 Our group gets set up along the shore at Hartlen Point (photo by Dave Currie). Dave gets a spotting scope set up so we can see the eiders and seals in the distance. Using binoculars and spotting scopes, we saw a total of 22 species on our fiedl trip! Hmm… what was this? Long beak, very long wings… it turned out to be a Northern gannet.
