Due to a poor looking forecast we are rescheduling the Brooklyn pelagic trip to next Saturday. This trip was full but we expect at least some people to drop out so if you hadn't signed up and want to go, let us know. If you're already signed up please let us know if you can make it and, if not, whether you would like a refund or a credit.Here are the details:
Date: Sat, Jan 14 Time: 5:00 AM - approx 7:00 PM Cost: $190 Boat: Brooklyn VI Leaves: 2200 Emmons Ave, Brooklyn NY Target alcids for our winter trips include Dovekie, Atlantic Puffin, Common Murre, Razorbill, occasionally Thick-billed Murre. We continually chum behind the boat to attract gulls and Gannets, and we usually manage to find Northern Fulmar, Black-legged Kittiwake, Lesser Black-backed, Iceland, and sometimes Glaucous Gull. When there are a lot of baitfish in the area we've often had Fin and Humpbacked Whales. Common Dolphins are regular and sometimes Atlantic White-sided Dolphins make an appearance. If you like to take pictures we usually get great photo ops for Northern Gannet coming into the chum. If you're planning on bringing a long telephoto for alcids and other more distant birds, be sure to also bring a shorter zoom lens. Gannets have a 6' wingspan and regularly come very close to the boat, and it's not unusual for me to be clip off wingtips in my images when using my 300mm lens. If you want make a reservation or need more information, contact us at the email or phone number below. Hope to see you aboard! -PAG *Paul A.
