To encourage more Texas Pelagic Fans and Fanatics to sign up for this trip I
decided to extend our âEarly Birdâ discount until April 15th. Youâll save
$20.00 of the regular fare by getting your registration and payment in before
tax day.
Iâm hoping that after one or a couple of these trips are run during this
early season that we will have such great success that everyone will want to go
out in early June. I was so disappointed that our June 13th, 2015 trip was
weathered out last year, that this year we have a weather back-up date for the
June 4th trip on June 11th just to help ensure we donât miss this early
season for a whole year again. That is how strongly I and all our other leaders
feel about the potential for this time of year offering some good birds to see.
Last year our trip was scheduled for June 13th which was right on the heels of
Petra Hockeyâs Wilsonâs Storm-Petrel sighting on June 11th. It was
especially satisfying for me that the Wilsonâs was sighted just then because
I had been thinking that this was the prime time for finally seeing them in
Texas Waters. They are fairly common in Louisiana off the Mississippi delta in
the May to August time frame. But the Mississippi Delta and the Mississippi
Canyon that extends across the shelf off the delta is the only place where
Pelagic birding trips are ever run off Louisiana. So there is no data to say
they donât extend farther west towards Texas. No one ever goes birding in the
deep waters of the Gulf at the right time of year off western Louisiana or
Texas to be able to answer this question in my opinion.
So donât delay, sign-up today!
