We have scheduled a pelagic out of Freeport, NY aboard the 100' Starstream VIII on Saturday, January 10. The trip is scheduled from 6:00 AM - 6:00 PM and the cost is $185.
Target species include Dovekie, Atlantic Puffin, Razorbill, Common & Thick-billed Murres, Northern Fulmar, Red Phalarope, Black-legged Kittiwake, Iceland, Glaucous, and Lesser Black-backed Gulls, all of which have been found on past trips. We also expect to see more common birds like loons, cormorants, sea ducks, Gannets, and Bonaparte's Gull. Possible cetaceans we've seen in winter before include Fin, Minke, and Humpback Whales and Common Dolphin. We will carry chum to try to keep a flock of gulls behind the boat all day. These in turn attract other birds that are curious about what’s going on. Be sure to bring your camera. The Gannets come in so close on most trips that they can be well photographed even with a short lens or even a quick point and shoot! This boat is spacious and stable with a birdable upper decked, heated cabin, galley, and separate men's and ladies facilities. The captain and mates are experienced with birding trips, and as always we'll have multiple leaders to help find and get people on the birds. To make a reservation or for more information, contact us by phone at 215-234-6805 or e-mail us at i...@paulagics.com. Hope to see you aboard. -PAG -- *Paul A.
