Northern Gannet
(Morus bassanus)
In Canada, Northern Gannets (60,000 pairs in recent years) nest on Bonaventure Island, off the coast of Quebec. Stream-lined Gannets can dive from a height of over 100 ft., achieving speeds of 100 km/h as they strike the water, enabling them to catch fish much deeper than most airborne birds.
