There is GOOD NEWS. As some of you may have heard, Rick Powers recently sold his boat the New Sea Angler, scaring birders that Bodega Bay Pelagics would be no more. But fear not, there is still one opportunity to take a boat out of Bodega Bay this fall with Rick Powers to "the best place... in North America for pelagic birding" (Howell, 2015) --Bodega Canyon, Cordell Bank, and vicinity-- where in the past 5 years we have had WAVED ALBATROSS, TRISTRAM'S STORM-PETREL, WEDGE-TAILED SHEARWATER (X2!), GREAT SHEARWATER and MORE!
Redwood Regional Ornithological Society will be sponsoring one trip to Cordell Bank / Bodega Canyon with Rick Powers, aboard his boat the Surf Scooter. The date will be SUNDAY, AUGUST 30TH. Normally, boats from Bodega Bay are run aboard the New Sea Angler. Unfortunately, last year Rick sold the New Sea Angler, thus this trip will be aboard his luxury charter vessel the Surf Scooter. The Surf Scooter only holds 20 passengers, so sign up fast!
To reserve a seat, mail a check to: PETER COLASANTI / 524 EAST D ST. / PETALUMA 94952 Please make out the check to "REDWOOD REGIONAL ORNITHOLOGICAL SOCIETY" for $235.00. Please excuse the elevated price, as the boat is a luxury (not a fishing) vessel and seats fewer passengers.
SEATS WILL BE FILLED IN THE ORDER CHECKS ARE RECEIVED!!
