This is a 5-hour trip, giving us the opportunity to explore more areas and
find more birds. We will depart in the early morning from King Harbor in
Redondo Beach and return around noon.
We will explore the areas around Redondo Canyon, an underwater canyon that
tends to have upwellings of food that attract birds. We will be on the
lookout for shearwaters, alcids, terns, gulls, phalaropes, jaegers, and
storm-petrels.
The trip will cost $100 per person, which includes a gratuity for the boat
crew. Note that we will be on a 65-foot boat on the open ocean, and that
there is a bit of a walk from the parking area to the boat. After making a
reservation below, you will receive a confirmation and you will be emailed
the meeting location.
Cancellations/refunds: LAB doesn’t make a profit on the trip, so we take a
loss if there are unfilled spots on the boat. So no refunds UNLESS (1) you
cancel more than 72 hours in advance, and (2) we can find someone to take
your spot. To cancel after you have signed up, please email
<info...> and we will contact people on the wait list on a
first-come-first-served basis to try to fill your spot. Please don’t try to
bypass the wait list by offering your spot to someone else.
All individuals under the age of 18 participating in a LAB sponsored event
must be accompanied by a parent, legal guardian, or an adult designated as
responsible for their well-being including their safety, behavior, and
compliance with all applicable rules and regulations during the course of
the event, program, activity, etc.
Birding Location Guides!
We are excited to announce our new series of birding location guide videos,
which you can find both on our website
<https://www.labirders.org/locations.html> and our YouTube page
<https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLv3bMyFnQcPeMEseHFEcg25cXiD17x8Nn>.
As we all know, sometimes visiting a new-to-you birding hotspot can be a
bit confusing and intimidating - how do you know where to park, where to
go, and what the landmarks within these places are? Hopefully these guides
will help to demystify these locations. Featuring birders from around LA,
these guides offer overviews and introductions about how to visit these
spots and how best to bird them.
