Hi all. Great fun on the ORV Zone on Sunday. One of the most interesting things to me was the Gannet that was very happy perching on the beach. I jumped him up once because I thought he was injured. After all, how often do Gannets ever sit on land let alone see land. So he flew out to the water and when I drove off, he came back and when I was driving back North heading out, I gave him some space.
