19th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Travel
Gannet in flight

After an hour walk on Bonaventure Island, Quebec, we arrive at the site of a huge colony of gannets on a cliff alongside the ocean. I saw those birds in flight , turning around the colony such as guardians. I tried to capture what seems to be an alpha bird guarding the colony.
