[nysbirds-l] Oct 23-24 Brooklyn Pelagic Still Too Short to Sail

2015-10-14 Thread Paul Guris 
We are still short of the number of participants we need to make this a
break even trip.  We're so stoked to get out at this time of year that I
and the leaders are willing to pay for our own slots just to get the trip
to sail.  Our cutoff date from the captain is next Thursday so we've got
one week to get enough to go!

There is an amazing temperature break out near the tip of the Hudson Canyon
that can be seen on this chart.

Tuna are in the area in good numbers which means that there is a lot of
life.  A recent fishing / birding trip on a private boat found both Manx
and Audubon's Shearwaters, Red Phalarope, Pomarine Jaeger, as well as other
common species.  Our plan is to bird the waters of the Hudson Canyon, some
of the flats outside the canyon where the tuna boats are chumming, and
around any scallop draggers we can find.

This is a highly underexplored time of year in our area and one of the few
trips we ran in the past found North America's second record of Cape Verde
Shearwater!  Interestingly we seem to find more nominate Cory's Shearwater
candidates at this time of year as well.  Interestingly, both of these
species leave their breeding grounds at around the same time.

The trip is an overnighter running approximately 18 hours, leaving Friday
night at 10:30 PM and returning Saturday afternoon around 4:30 PM.  The
cost is $220.  The Brooklyn VI is approximately 100' long, can cruise at
17-18 knots, and has a galley so you can get a hot breakfast and lunch.
