BBC Pelagic #3 - Hyannis to Veatch's Canyon on 8/23

The third and final deep-water BBC pelagic sailed out of Hyannis early on Saturday morning. Our target was Veatch’s Canyon. Unlike the July trip, no rarities were to be found. It was still an enjoyable day out on the water. Highlights included 3 Audubon’s Shearwaters, a Pomarine Jaeger, Red-necked Phalaropes, 2 Sperm Whales, Risso’s Dolphins, and my life Manta Ray.

Photographs

After years of digiscoping I purchased a dSLR, the Canon 7D, in July 2011 along with the 400mm f5.6 prime lens. I upgraded to the 7D MarkII in September of 2016.
All of my shots on this website are taken with either the Canon 7D, 7D MkII or digiscoped with a Canon Powershot unless otherwise noted.
ALL PHOTOS are Copyright Nick Bonomo 2008-2021 unless otherwise noted.

Post-processing, when performed, is limited to minor exposure adjustments and sharpening. I sometimes do not have enough free time for this step and will post photos as-is. On several occasions I will not alter a photo if I feel that the change does not make the bird appear as it did in the field, for identification purposes.
