I wanna do a pelagic so bad at some point. Living in the interior Midwest means that, for me, seabirds are the weak point on my life list. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Living in the interior Midwest means that, for me, seabirds are the weak point on my life list. I can’t recommend pelagic birding enough. It’s fast and furious and really challenging birding, in a fun way. The birds you see offshore are amazing, and so are the other things (cetaceans, pinnipeds, etc.). We saw a huge pod of Risso’s Dolphins, which was super dope. Unfortunately, it’s not for everyone. If you are considering a pelagic I would recommend starting with a half day one (typically back around noon) instead of the full 10-12 hr. commitment of a regular pelagic. Enjoy! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to do one SO BAD. I was going to go to California and do one in March of 2020... but we all know what happened then. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can make up school, but missing a bird like that'll keep you awake at night ?

I had it calling at dusk tonight and had it calling and very briefly in flight after Connor left on Monday. I haven’t counted it because I wouldn’t be able to independently ID the bird on my own based on the very venting and fleeting looks I have gotten thus far, which is my own personal threshold for counting a bird for my county list. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just noticing that. There really aren't too many, but it's probably just because no one covers marshes that much to the north of us. They don't usually show up in traditional vagrant locations. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I once drove over an hour away and back to bird for half an hour to get a Trumpeter Swan. I would have been so mad if it wasn't there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
