 I see you had some pelagic birds this weekend, you were on a pelagic trip, right?

Yeah. @AlexHenry was also there so he might have some photos to share as well.

None as good as Connor’s! I don’t have very much pelagic experience so mostly I was just trying to get good looks at birds and familiarize myself with them. I did take a few pics though, here’s a Laysan Albatross:

Great shot! That list is awesome too btw, super sweet Hawaiian Petrel. I really need to do a pelagic I think.

Yeah. It's unfortunate you can't see the whole trip on one list since we had some other really good birds. However pelagic protocol requires checklists to be split every hour.

I assume they split them up because otherwise it would cover too much distance? I’ve have seen that done before on other plagues.

Yeah. You cover close to 100 miles during a pelagic so you do have to split it up (otherwise the county borders would be mad).

Makes sense. Just count all the birds for multiple counties ?

Let’s just pretend nobody saw those typos and autocorrects attempt to fix them.
