I am forwarding news of space available for folks from the Brookline Bird Club (celebrating their 100th anniversary this year). This is out of Massachusetts, but Maine used to be an exclave of that state, so I'm taking the liberty of posting here ;-)

Fairfield,
The Brookline Bird Club will be running a dedicated pelagic birding trip out of Hyannis, MA to the continental shelf edge - there are still a few spaces. Sign up now!
DATE: SATURDAY, Aug. 3, 2013: 2AM - 7PM
Hyannis to the Hydrographer Canyon area.
Birds expected: 4 or 5 species of Shearwaters (possibly Audubon's, two previous trips have seen Barolo Shearwater), Leaches and Wilson's Storm-petrels, Jaegers (LONG-TAILED), Gannets, Terns, and several Marine Animals. We hope to see BAND-RUMPED STORM PETRELS, BRIDLED TERN, SKUAS and other rarities. Anything is possible. We will be in the deeper warmer waters off the coast.
Limit: 50 Participants
Cost: $185 - BBC Members - $200.00 - non members
We have MASTER BIRDERS: JAMES SMITH, MARK FAHERTY and others who will be spotting the birds and getting us onto them over the loud speaker system. We use a variety of chum by the gallons. Our boat, the Helen H, is a comfortable, fast, 100 foot fishing boat with a knowledgeable and enthusiastic Captain and crew. There is a full galley with excellent food at reasonable prices. Parking is free.
To reserve a space, send a check for the full amount made out to the
'BROOKLINE BIRD CLUB AGENT' along with a signed waiver to: Ida Giriunas, 83 Summer Ave., Reading, MA, 01867 and include either your email or your postal
address for confirmation, boarding instructions and further information.
