The Gannet is a wide-winged seagoing bird whose marine prey get snapped up by a powerful bill, efficient swooping wingspan, and sharp eyes and beak. Creamy feather colors and clan seascapes make gannets astoundingly poetic photography subjects. Gannets dive and operate heavy game fishing schedules with the business end of their well-defined beak. This same beak provided bill-tapping courtship rituals during mating season.

The gannet is a species of bird known to residents of Lewis Island and on the beaches of the American East Coast, the frigid shores of North Atlantic terra firma, and the tropical and subtropical marshlands and bays of Atlantic Coastal and some Western European nations and Mediterranean shores.

The gannet is known for its black wing tip and light blue eye color and webfoot shape and easily recognizable feet and beak combination. Unusual characteristics of the gannet not known to every day bird watchers is that they nest on coastal cliffs.

The gannet will grow to 34 to 40 inches high. The gannet wingspan will develop into a length of 65-70 feet. The gannet subsists on a diet of sea protein and marine life found in the wild. Gannets negotiate pre-migration lifestyles in the cold North Atlantic and go South for the winter. Gannets would not be allowed to exist domesticated without extraordinary circumstances, although one city in Great Britain is allowed to cook them as snacks once a year! Gannets are considered endangered natural wildlife and occur in nature with increasingly diminishing frequency.

The gannet can be found wandering among the water ways and shore brush of countries like Canada, The United Kingdom, North American and several oceanic islands. The Gannet belongs to the Sulidae family, and has undergone significant population rebuilding in recent decades. The gannet will occur when eggs and adults are less hunted.

The sharp and functional beak of the Gannet will be blue shaded and encircle blue eyes.  The natural brownish color of the adolescent Gannet will evolve into a more white feathered plumage as adulthood emerges. The wing tips finalize into an elegant black and the bird feathers overall travel a white spectrum, with yellow touches emerging on the head and neck areas during breeding seasons.
