Our mid-September trip is when we can expect to see the greatest diversity of seabirds. Long-tailed Jaegers, earlier migrants than the other jaegers, are still passing through, Buller's Shearwaters are showing up in better numbers, and in general, we are enjoying good numbers of auklets, phalarope, terns, and more. We even have a chance to see a rare species, such as Flesh-footed Shearwater (never guaranteed, however!).
This trip will now go out on September 17, as a nephew decided not to plan his wedding date around Oregon Pelagic Tours's schedule. Imagine that! All registered participants and the charter agreed to make the change, so I am able to attend the wedding on Saturday, then run a pelagic the following day. Please note that this date has been changed on the schedule page, and is now correct.
