Subject: Outer Banks Awaits You!

Hi to all our pelagic participants,

This is the best time to plan a trip for North Carolina!  We have the
following openings on our pelagic trips departing Manteo, NC on the fast
boat the "Country Girl"!  We had a large group from Texas cancel at the last
minute, so we have more spaces open. 

May 30 - 4 spaces open
May 31 - 1 space open
June 2 - 1 space open
June 6 - 9 spaces open
June 7 - 13 spaces open
 
 If you know of anyone that may be interested, please pass on this
information to them.   We appreciate your patronage and hope you'll join us.

If you are already signed up for any of these trips - no need to respond.

Here is the summary from our web site.  Please check it out...
The Outer Banks is the place to go for Gulf Stream specialties ranging from
the regularly occurring Black-capped Petrel and Band-rumped Storm-Petrel to
the rarerly seen elsewhere Bermuda, Fea's, and Herald (Trinidade) Petrel.
Late spring is the best time of year for rarities, is excellent for
regularly occurring birds, and is great for migrating birds such as
Storm-Petrel. Other less frequent rarities are possible such as European
Storm-Petrel, Red-billed Tropicbird, and White-tailed Tropicbird.

Other target birds include Cory's, Greater, Sooty, Manx, and Audubon's
Shearwaters, Wilson's Storm-Petrel, South Polar Skua, Pomarine, Parasitic,
and Long-tailed Jaegers, and Roseate, Common, Arctic, Sooty, and Bridled
Terns.

There is no way we'll see ALL these birds, but these are the birds we would
expect to see over the course of several summer trips. Some are virtually
guaranteed (e.g. Wilson's Storm-Petrel) and others are much less expected.

We will also be looking for marine mammals. Some of the possibilities at
this time of year include Sperm Whale, Cuvier's Beaked Whale, Pilot Whale,
Bottlenose Dolphin, Common Dolphin, and Atlantic Spotted Dolphin.

As an aside, you should consider the fantastic landbirding that is close to
Manteo. One of the big advantages to this location is its proximity to such
birding hotspots as Alligator River NWR and Palmetto Peartree Preserve.
Alligator River has southerly birds like abundant Prothonotary Warblers,
Swainson's Warbler, Yellow-throated Warbler, Blue Grosbeak, Northern
Bobwhite, and plenty of other species. It's an excellent place to search for
Black Bear, and the endangered Red Wolf has been reintroduced there.
Palmetto Peartree Preserve is a little over an hour from Manteo and has a
thriving population of Red-cockaded Woodpeckers. Brown-headed Nuthatch can
be found in both places as well as in stands of tall pines right in Manteo
itself.

Thank you and good birding!
Anita
