We had a Northern Gannett show up at Point Reyes National Seashore a few years ago. I was out on Chimney Rock near where the Elephant Seals haul up, and the gannett was at the extreme west end of that particular point. I managed to get my scope on it and could basically tell it wasn’t one of the many standard birds of the area, but it was really far away. I was putting my scope away preparatory to leaving when it suddenly flew to where I was and less than 50 feet away began diving. It was magnificent!
Gannets are for sure some of my favorite birds, excellent footage! When I’m older I definitely want to go birding up in Newfoundland to see these fellas
This is some absolutely stunning video coverage! Thank you so much to all who contributed to this wonderful opportunity to learn and understand. You are all doing very important work, and it is greatly appreciated.
This is absolutely beautiful and so unexpectedly moving. It's hard to fathom how many hours of patient videography went into creating it--capturing first flights and even an unsuccessful launch. It brought back the clamor and smell of Bird Rock, where I spent many hours in the early 1980's thanks to Bill Montevecchi of the Memorial University of Newfoundland. I will always be grateful to have experienced this, and your video brought it back in full color. Thank you, thank you.
I've seen gannets up close here in Perce QC. Quite stunning to see the large numbers of nests. There is a chilling reality when not only will some chicks die by predation, not flying, but also by being born too late in the season. I've also read that climate change has affected food sources and that too threatens this and many other species. Thankfully, many juveniles survive the test and return to nest as adults. Beautiful cinematography! Thanks Cornell.
Gannets are fascinating birds. Since 1991 they breed on Heligoland in the German Bight. I am looking forward to April 2020, when I'll take my next group of students there, being guests at the Alfred Wegener Institute and doing some research on marine ecosystems and standing in the red cliffs watching the birds hunting, courting, mating just a few meters away.
Whenever i watch your videos one thing always come in my mind that...it's incredibly beautiful & how much Effort it's take to capturing such beautiful nature..?? 2nd thing come in my mind that it's veryyyuuu underrated channel...!!
I visited St Mary's Ecological Reserve years ago and was fascinated by the view that I saw of these Gannets. That whole trip around Newfoundland was unforgettable. Just the lobster dinners alone were worth the trip.
Salute to the photographer and scientists! I have been there once to witness their beauty. How spectacular and stunning to see these beautiful creatures in nature !
Wonderful video! Being this is 5 years old and perhaps adding another year before it was uploaded and the young in this video are probably on their 3nd year returning after their 3 year sabbatical.
Incredible footage! I love the straightforward presentation…no music, just natural sounds of the surf and fog horns. The narrator’s cadence and tone are perfect! THANK YOU, CORNELL ORNITHOLOGY! -Proud supporter from Eau Claire, WI 💚💚💚
I am amazed. How beautiful these nature's birds are + seem to be tough birds to live in such an extreme environment. And I hope the climate change will not affect these beautiful and amazing sea birds.
Research about all kinds of creatures has to be unimaginably difficult and plodding. Yet people have managed to find out all kinds of wonders. What I want to know is, how do we know that gannets are monogamous for up to 10+ years of life? How can we tell that they are all finding previous years' mates upon return to Bird Rock in spring? Are we sure it isn't just a free-for-all every year??
An imressive first flight by a chick is captured. An awkward moment just after taking off soon turns into elegant aerial maneuver. In contrast, a failed individual tells another (important & intriguing) story. Pity, for those youngs' landing performance is missing.
Thanks so much for watching and please consider subscribing!

Guys, the BBC should take exemple on your work, it's just stunning. The shots are just breathtaking ! They must have been quite hard to get !
Excellent footage, very nicely done.

Such a beautiful production, thank you for making it. An inspiring video for my 6 year old son who appreciates the wonders of world. :)
How spectacular! I am so grateful to Cornell Lab of Ornithology for all they do to educate us about the amazing world of birds.
Absolutely stunning video production! Well done, as good if not better than some of the commercially produced. Loved it!!

Really enjoyed this beautiful film. So well done. Hated to see the little ones that don't make it when they take off. Thank you for sharing.

Vielen Dank für Ihren Besuch auf unserer Channel!
@@cornell_labIs there a live cam of Gannets we can watch from Maine !!
Gorgeous video! I loved everything about my trip to Newfoundland, but Cape St. Mary's was one of the peak experiences.

Wow! Beautiful photography!
I have watched it twice without sound. It makes me appreciate the photography a lot more. It’s so beautiful and relaxing

Great video...was there for first time July 31st. We are lucky to have it here in Newfoundland.
Great job explaining the life of the Northern Gannett. This detailed information can be really hard to find.
Wonderful video!

Greetings from India … lovely birds, hope to see them one day 😊
Beautiful production!
Beautiful piece. Thanks much.
This certainly makes seeing them in the NYC area even more special!!!
I am amazed. How beautiful these nature's birds are + seem to be tough birds to live in such an extreme environment. And I hope the climate change will not affect these beautiful and amazing sea birds.
Totally awesome production. Thank you.
Thank you for showing us an unseen world. The first flight had stricken me deeply. Lots of love for your efforts. I hope your viewers will increase.
This video is beautiful.
Un lugar increíble para disfrutar de las aves marinas.

This made me smile and cry at the same time. Nature is wonderful and sad. Such a beautiful bird. Thanks from a bird lover and member of ebird.

How beautiful!
I loved this video, so beautiful and pure. I cried when the little chick fell though. Poor guy
I found an adult male washed up on the beach, they've been my favorite birds ever since. Excellent footage, cheers
Je comprends pas un mot mais c'est sublime. On "ressent" le lieu.
A great video. I was just there in July!

chim đẹp quá 👍
it sure ain't easy being a Gannet. Also, aren't they proof that long-distance relationships can work?
😘😘
I'm very curious. How DO the breeding pairs find each other? I hope we figure it out sometime soon
I partially expected this video to have some footage of the Gannet chicks getting vored by pelicans since I’ve seen a video of that happening
💚
Ever been told "you eat like a gannet"?
