A greater shearwater in flight - a common sight
Greater shearwaters are almost a daily sighting and are our most abundant pelagic seabird. Pelagic birds are that group of seabirds that come ashore for breeding and nesting only. The rest of their lives are spent at sea. These would include such species as shearwaters, storm-petrels, fulmars, jaegers, murres and puffins. You can expect to see any or all of these and other species on the Bay of Fundy.
