> Greetings Seabirders,
> 
> We've been out to sea for the last five days, and after seeing low
> numbers of birds through Monday, conditions have changed and pelagic
> birding is top notch.  We've seen a good diversity of birds since the
> wind shifted to the east; Black-capped Petrels, Cory's, Greater and
> Sooty Shearwaters, Leach's and Band-rumped Storm- Petels and Pomarine
> Jaegers have all been much more numerous over the last two days.  On
> Tuesday, May 22 we had crippling views of a Red-billed Tropicbird in 25
> fathoms, and on May 23 we photograped SIX different Herald (Trindade)
> Petrels on a pelagic trip from Hatteras.
> 
> We still have a number of spaces on a Hatteras trip this Friday, May 25
> and the forecast is for light winds from the south, which should be
> productive in combination with an easterly swell.
> 
> We also just had a cancellation for one space on May 26 and 27 from
> Hatteras.
