The pelagic aboard the American Princess out of Sheepshead Bay this past Saturday had a decidedly winter feel with steady northwest winds and water temps holding steady at 44 degrees.
The avian highlights included an incredible Northern Gannet showing with nearly 1000 individuals behind the boat in all plumages and lighting scenarios- often too close to focus on with anything longer than a 300mm lens.
Razorbill, Common Murre, Iceland Gull, Lesser-black Backed Gull, offshore Merlin, and good numbers of loons were encountered. The eBird trip list can be seen at the following link:
