Greetings Mendo and Bay Area birders (and sorry for the cross-posts):
Just a quick note that on a fishing trip yesterday there were two
Hawaiian Petrels and 4-5 Murphy's Petrels along with 35+ Black-footed
and two Laysan Albatrosses, 100s of shearwaters, Sabine's Gulls, Tufted
Puffin, etc. just 2.6-2.7 miles from shore off the Cabrillo Light Station:
There's something unique about the waters off Noyo Harbor that brings
pelagic species close to shore.
We still have 2-3 spaces remaining for our full-day pelagic trip on May
30th. There are also 1-2 scholarship slots available for students to go
for free (contact Tim Bray - cc'd above - if interested in one of these)
and we have a campsite available at MacKerricher State Park.
