Posted with permission of the list owners. There’s an upcoming 12hr pelagic opportunity aboard The American Princess out of Sheepshead Bay, Brooklyn on Saturday, April 6th. This trip will head offshore during a very under-birded time of year. Photo opportunities of Northern Gannets in high breeding plumage and lingering alcids coming into their alternate plumages are all possibilities. Our only April trip (2015) yielded 8 species of gull, 2 species of alcid, double digit migrating Red-necked Grebes among good waterfowl diversity and some passerines to boot. This trip is longer and aims to get further offshore.
