Common Murre with baby food

Christopher Dodds June 4, 2023

I photographed this Common Murre (bringing fish home to feed its baby) against the out-of-focus cliffs of Bonaventure Island hand-held from a Zodiac Hurricane during my GANNETS GALORE WORKSHOP last June. I love my time on the daily Zodiac excursion photographing the other species that call Bonaventure Island home. The open boat trips are weather permitting, and there is some rain in our forecast, but my fingers are crossed that the current sunshine manifests and we start big on the Zodiac tomorrow morning.

Black Guillemot landing with fish

Christopher Dodds February 22, 2020

If you thought it took skill to photograph the fast and erratic Atlantic Puffins in flight, then you have never tried to get a Black Guillemot in flight. We had a lot of fun with them bringing fish home to their babies during my Deluxe Atlantic Puffins and so much more workshop.
