[Maine-birds] Isles of Shoals CBC - January 1

Attention CBCer's:

Weather permitting Isles of Shoals CBC will be held aboard UNH R/V Gulf Challenger on Wednesday, January 1.  Expert birders will be onboard to help spot, identify, and call out birds and throw chum.  We will be landing (conditions permitting) on Star Island, NH and we will also spend time looking for pelagic birds in the circle.  We will be chumming for seabirds as well. Previous trips have had good success at finding Snowy Owls, Harlequin Ducks, Black-legged Kittiwakes, and alcids.  Reports from this fall suggest there may be a good number of Dovekies offshore and we have had good luck with this species on the trip when it's gone.

The price of the trip will depend on participation, but I anticipate it being approximately 70 dollars per person.

We will leave the Coastal Marine Lab pier in New Castle at 8 am and the UNH Gulf Challenger will will return around 1 pm.  Please inform others who may be interested.

You can alternatively email me with the name(s) of the participants, contact information (phone and email) or call me at 603-801-1856; however, I prefer form reservations.
