Last Monday I woite:

Came across a seascape painting of Cape May at the Woodmere Art Museum in Philly last month.

I am trying to figure out what the bird in the painting is…  Any ideas?

Had three nice response — petrel, albatross and gannet.  I liked the "gannet' response from Diane Louie, which included a nice bit of research. She wrote:

BTW, the same museum has another painting by Briscoe, "Cod Fishing on the Banks", where Gannets are depicted (it seems to me) more clearly….
