The Massachusetts hotline also has lots of alcids, so it's an interesting mix of birds out there! Fulmar, murres, Razorbills--check it out at http://birdingonthe.net/hotmail/EAST.312200527.html, it's enough to make me itch to get out pelagic birding! I had a Pomarine and a Parasitic Jaeger at Cape Henlopen yesterday, we hope to check out the tern flocks for Jaegers on the way in, and it looks like they are around. There is room available on the trip, however if you're planning on coming and you don't have a prepaid reservation please do call and reserve your space so you're not disappointed. Call 215-234-6805 or write info@paulagics.com for information and reservations. The boat will be the 85' Thelma Dale IV or one of the larger (!) faster (!!) boats, the Thelma Dale V or the Keen Lady IV, both 110'. All three boats have upper decks and walk-around bows.
