Subject: Re: [MBBIRDS] Pelagic trips |
Ty - Neither of our local pelagic trip operators - Alvaro's Adventures
or Monterey Seabirds - is doing a trip on those dates. Most pelagic
trips are offered on weekends. Your friends might want to do a whale
watching trip, which are generally not as good for seeing seabirds as a
dedicated birding trip, but certainly better than not going out at all.
Most whale watches are just a few hours long and don't get very far
offshore, but Monterey Bay Whale Watch does some longer trips that
should be better for pelagic birding. They have an 8-hopur trip on the
25th:

Had a nice morning Saturday at lighthouse field. Good looks at the WILLOW FLYCATCHER where it has been seen. Also in the willows I saw three male SCALY BREASTED MUNAS. As well as two WESTERN KINGBIRDS on the pole in the south west corner next to the apparent buildings.
Happy birding,

A lot of people have been enjoying the birds at Younger Lagoon lately ~~ but not signing in.
It's really important to sign in, since the Reserve uses this information to assess how much use the overlook is getting from the public - and whether or not to continue to allow access. It takes less than a minute, and you can even sign in with a QR code.
So when you visit, please do your part to keep this special place available for all of us! Thank you.

Great picture!
I’m recovering from another back surgery but can still sit on my deck and watch the migration happen. Today a female Black-throated gray warbler and female Yellow warbler used the puddle pond we created. They both waited for the aggressively bathing junco and then they took their bath.
Yesterday was the first day we didn’t see any Hooded orioles. Sad to see them off!
