[Maine-birds] Red-billed Tropicbird trip TOMORROW - seats still available

Hello All,

Leslie Starr and Joe Turner have booked a trip with Captain John Drury (maineseabirdtours.com), out of Vinalhaven, for tomorrow (Thursday July 30th) and there are still seats available. This is the 11th year the bird has returned and it is anyone's guess how many more times it will return to Maine.. Although no guarantee, the bird has been particularly consistent, of late, offering unusually close looks.

Below is Leslie and Joe's recent post, with particulars.  At this point, it's probably best to call or text their numbers listed below, if interested.  I was out there last Saturday...AMAZING trip!  A terrific opportunity for birders.

Inspired by all the great sightings last weekend, we decided to try for this bird as soon as possible. We have engaged Captain John Drury to take us out to the Seal Island area to look for it this Thursday afternoon, July 30. We will be leaving from Vinalhaven at 2:00 pm.

There is room for additional passengers, if anyone is interested and able to come on this short notice. The boat can hold six people. 

Because our return will be after the last ferry of the afternoon, we will be staying on the island overnight, and anyone who joins us would need to find accommodations and do the same, though apparently there is an option to fly back to the mainland.

The cost of the boat trip, to be shared by all passengers, is $90 per hour. Capt. Drury says the trip will take four to five hours. 

Capt. Drury is a highly experienced seabird guide. Here is his website:  http://www.maineseabirdtours.com

Please e-mail us directly, call, or text if you are interested in joining us.

thanks, Leslie Starr & Joe Turner
