Hello all!
Just got back from the pelagic, and wow! What a day. 6 life birds including my
ABA 400! Band-rumpled Storm Petrel! Nothing extraordinarily rare but did have a
Leach's Storm Petrel and massive numbers of Audubon's Shearwater and Sooty
Term. My personal favorite of the day was the first pelagic species we had:
Cory's Shearwater. What a majestic bird! (Good spot, Kelly!)
In total, we had 7 pelagic species.
Band-rumped Storm Petrel
Leach's Storm Petrel
Cory's Shearwater
Audubon's Shearwater
Sooty Tern
Bridled Tern
3 Masked Boobies
All in all, 6 total lifers on the day (all but the Boobies) Such a fun day with
many great people. Thanks again to Gary Hodne and the rest of the trip leaders.
We'll be back next year!
Good birding,
Bryce Hardway
