Hi Birders
Dana Wharf Sportfishing and Whale Watching has a few spaces available for a 6-hour pelagic trip from Dana Point on Friday. These are small capacity trips that normally fill fast, but we do have a few spots available. The trip leaves at 8:00 am and returns at 2:00 pm. It will focus on Orange County waters and with the time we have, we will be able to get out to several of the interesting underwater features in the area. I expect we may encounter alcids, storm-petrels, phalaropes, flocks of shearwaters, and other pelagic species. The El Nino conditions are bringing interesting species to waters off southern California including Least Storm-Petrels, Guadalupe Murrelets, numbers of boobies, and other uncommon/rare species for the region. We will aim to get as far offshore as we can and see what we find.
Registration information is available at the following link.
Cheers
