Gannets gather on cliffs of Newfoundland

Gannet grouping – A group of highly-adapted seabirds rests on the rocky coast Newfoundland. Gannets feed by diving for fish underwater at speeds of up to 100 miles per hour, and can catch fish deep under water. They have no external nostrils and have air sacs that cushion their face and chest when they hit the water. The gannets keen eyes also give them great judgment for distances.
