Birds
Gannets & Herring Gulls

  Most of our daylight seen on the 25th was from Father Point to Cape
Gasp� [Cape Gasp�] with the Gasp� Peninsula [Gasp� Peninsula] on our right about 8 miles off and the
north shore on the left showing only very dimly in the far distance. Just
before sunset we were off Cape Gasp� [Cape Gasp�] with Perc� Rock [Perc� Rock] and Bonaventure
Island faintly visible beyond it. To the north lay Anticosti showing
very plainly, especially at its south-eastern extremity where I could see
plainly, through my glass, the cliff where the Cormorants were nesting in 1881
and where we made our first landing that summer. Comparatively few
birds were in sight to-day. Indeed I saw only five or six Gannets
and 15 or 20 Herring Gulls. I had expected to see Northern Phalaropes
and Wilson's Petrels but none were noted. A large whale spouted
a mile or more away to the southward when we were off Cape Gasp� [Cape Gasp�].
There was a pretty, but not especially brilliant, sunset.
Altogether the day passed less interestingly than I had
anticipated but it was good to see Anticosti and
the Gasp� [Gasp�] again, after thirty years.
