Incoming!
The large white birds hitting the water like missiles are Northern Gannets. During their spring migration, they will follow the coastline of the Panhandle east, eventually crossing Florida and then follow the Atlantic coastline north to nesting islands like Bonaventure near Perce, Quebec. The gannet is the only northern member of the booby family. Along with the gannets were Common Loons, Brown Pelicans and an assortment of gulls and terns.
