“Having breakfast onboard, 28 miles off Canso. Oct 2 ,2021”
I used to see them, this time of year, when I worked on the Scotian Shelf. The ships attract tired migrant birds and the falcons prey on them. One ate a piper, or something, on the bow. I wonder how many land birds die at sea. A lot of them that land on the ships do not look healthy and if they drink the sea water on deck that is bad. Steve might have more to say about that.
