Hello Pelagic Enthusiasts,

Please join us for this newly scheduled 8 hour adventure aboard the
TWILIGHT!  Departure is at the reasonable hour of 8 AM, and we return around
4 PM.  Originally setup as a trip for the Waterbird Society meeting, we have
now been granted spaces for our pelagic participants to join the fun!  Cost
is $84.00.
Read more below about this civilized pelagic...

Target Species
Greater Shearwater, Manx Shearwater*, Northern Gannet, loons, cormorants,
sea ducks, Red Phalarope, Parasitic and Pomarine Jaeger*, Iceland, Glaucous,
Lesser Black-backed, Bonaparte's, and Little* Gull (plus more common gulls),
Black-legged Kittiwake, and terns. There is no way we'll see ALL these
birds, but these are the birds we would expect to see if we went out several
times at this time of year. Some are virtually guaranteed (e.g. Herring
Gull) and others are much less expected (marked with *).

We will also be looking for marine mammals. Some of the possibilities at
this time of year are Fin Whale, Humpbacked Whale, Common Dolphin, and
Bottlenose Dolphin.

Tentative Itinerary
We plan to explore various underwater features that often attract and hold
marine life. Finding a concentration of baitfish or plankton generally means
finding birds and marine mammals. We expect to visit "The Rips", the
dividing line between the Atlantic Ocean and the Delaware Bay. We also plan
to visit various underwater features out to as far as 25 miles offshore.

We will be chumming behind the boat to attract gulls, with the hope of
finding some of the more unusual species. We expect to have a great Northern
Gannet show at this time of year. This can be a great opportunity for
photographers to get excellent images of this species, as the Gannets fly in
for the chum being thrown. You can often hear them call, and see their pale
blue eyes. Northern Gannets take 4 years to become full adults, so we will
discuss aging of the birds we see.

Our itinerary is always tentative. The actual route taken will depend upon
the Captain's knowledge of current water temperature and bait conditions,
what we encounter during the trip, and attempting to maintain a comfortable
ride for everybody. Particularly at this time of year, the captain's current
knowledge of baitfish concentrations may drive where we go.
