You don't need any excuse to get out on a boat? it has been fabulous birding out
there! Just check our trip reports!
(Trip report for August 12, Half Moon Bay coming soon).

The marine forecast could not be better for Monterey Bay this Friday, August
17th. Spaces are available. We're finally seeing the ocean "relaxation period."

Some of our most exciting trips are coming up, with some of the nation's top
seabird leaders:

AUG 22, BODEGA BAY with Jon Dunn, Steve Howell, Peter Pyle, Lisa Hug & Debi
Shearwater
AUG 24 FORT BRAGG with Jon Dunn, Todd McGrath, Lisa Hug & Debi Shearwater
AUG 25 FORT BRAGG with Todd McGrath, Scott Terrill, Linda Terrill, Lisa Hug &
Debi Shearwater

This is prime time for searching for Hawaiian Petrel on all three of the above
trips. There is over 1000 FORK-TAILED STORM-PETRELS at Bodega Canyon, right now.

Seabirding has been quite good for this early in the fall season. I hope to see
you out there!
Real birds eat squid,
