Seabirders & Potential Seabirders-

We are once again running our annual winter pelagic on Saturday, February
6.  As usual, we'll be sailing from Lewes, DE aboard either the 85' Thelma
Dale IV or the 110' Thelma Dale V.  We plan on visiting both Delaware and
Maryland waters.  If conditions are right, the captain may once again drop
the boat right on the state line for a while so that birds on one side of
the boat count in DE, birds on the other side count in the MD, and anything
that crosses the bow or stern is countable is BOTH states!

I'm always nervous making statements like this, but we've never missed
Dovekie on this trip.  Our best year found over 4,000, and even "bad" years
have produced close to 100.  The water conditions that we want for finding
these neat little birds are setting up nicely off the coast, so we have an
excellent chance of finding them again.  Other birds we've seen on this trip
in the past include Razorbill, Common and Thick-billed Murre, Northern
Fulmar, Northern Gannet, Glaucous, Iceland, and Lesser Black-backed Gulls,
and Black-legged Kittiwake.  We also expect to find more common seabirds
like Common and Red-throated Loons, all 3 species of scoter, Long-tailed
Duck, and Red-breasted Merganser.

The trip cost is $165, and the boat sails at 6:00 AM, returning at roughly
6:00 PM.  To make a reservation, go to our web site or you can contact us by
phone or e-mail.


Hope to see you aboard.
