Steller's Sea Eagle in Newfoundland | Zodiac Ride | 8/22/2024

Описание: The climax of my visit to NL was the Zodiac ride by Trinity Eco-Tours. Even if I did not see any wildlife I would have been very happy (may be not - LOL) just seeing such a beauty of NL shoreline with jagged rocks, ledges, crevasses, and cliff surrounded by the pines and to top that off the blue sky and the sun!! I was surprised how smooth Zodiac ride was which can handle up to 12 passengers. For photographers with long lens may be 9 would be better. Each seat had spring cushion to absorb the waves. However, I do not recommend for those who have bad spinal problem or bad sea sickness. However, no one had a problem. We were all suited up with warm red "immersion suit" which kept us warm and dry. I sat in the middle back seat without the cushion right in front of the Skipper. I loved that seat. I was dry, but others on the edges or front had very MINOR flashes but nothing to worry about. I had my camera / lens with Lenscoat Raincoat and the lens cap on but water never came close to me. The Skipper was very conscientious of photographers / crew knowing how to position the boat to get all to see and photograph "Stella" on good lighting. We went to the shore pretty close where I was able to get many no crop photos of SSE with ~600mm lens. The Skipper is very conscientious of not stressing the bird or whales. We also visited some historical sites and a movie set town, saw Gannets diving, and visited Puffin Colony where tons of them flew into their burrows with Capelins. #Wildlife #wildlifephotography #bird #birding #birdphotography #photography #Stellersseaeagle #zodiac #newfoundland #trinityecotours
