[nysbirds-l] Sep. 16 Freeport Pelagic Nearly Full
The 16-hour pelagic out of Freeport on Sun, September 16 is nearly full. Registration is restricted for this trip since we are leaving at 12:30 AM and we want to make sure people have room to sleep. At this time we only have 4 spaces left. Our planned itinerary is to sail out to the deep waters at or beyond the Continental Shelf edge and start chumming. On multiple trips in the Mid-Atlantic we've found that this time of day and the heavy use of chum are the best way to find LEACH'S, BAND-RUMPED, and even WHITE-FACED STORM-PETRELS in our area. It seems that the Leach's and Band-rumpeds in particular feed nocturnally so finding them later in the day means having to push them up off of the water or come across one as it travels around. In addition to storm-petrels, birds that occur regularly at this time of year include BRIDLED TERN, AUDUBON'S, CORY'S, and GREAT SHEARWATER, and RED-NECKED PHALAROPE. Less common but still somewhat regularly occurring species include SOUTH POLAR SKUA, LONG-TAILED JAEGER (usually juveniles), and ARCTIC TERN. On one trip out of Delaware we even found an adult SABINE'S GULL. We expect to return around 4:30 PM. We will once again be aboard the 90' Capt. Lou VII. This is a wide, comfortable boat with a covered upper deck which is great for sleeping outdoors. Sleeping accommodations consist of benches and the floor, with people being allowed to select their sleeping spot in the order that they paid for the trip. The cost of the trip is $230. If you are interested or have any questions, feel free to contact us. Hope to see you aboard. -PAG -- *Paul A.
