Greetings Central Valley Birders- Forwarding a message from Peter Pyle:
Our buttons for full-day Noyo Pelagics trips are now ready for sign-ups
for the previously mentioned dates:
We had a fine half-day trip on March 1st including an unexpected
Scripps's Murrelet and early Humpback Whales (see report at the link
above). We will be offering more half-day trips on a short-notice (7-10
day) basis as good-weather windows approach; if you may be interested in
these you can monitor Mendobirds or sign up for the Mendo-Pelagics io
group serve (<https://groups.io/g/Mendocino-Pelagics>). See
https://noyopelagics.com/about-our-trips/ for more on our half-day,
full-day, and educational trips.
We have attempted this year to organize some back-to-back trips along
the NorCal coast, or with a day or two in between. Unfortunately at this
time there are no trips planned to Cordell Bank since the Bodega Bay
skipper sold his boat this winter. Hopefully something will work out
there soon. For now, we have some back-to-back or even week-long
opportunities for multiple trips from Sausalito, Fort Bragg, and Eureka.
I have listed these below (with sign-up information below the dates); if
you know of ABA folks or others around the country that may be
interested, please pass this along. Logan has also set up a Google
calendar which he will finalize tonight at:
Hope to see you up here for a trip, or two, or more!
Good birding, Peter
