Monterey Bay Pelagic
Field Trip
Terry Colborn is organizing a weekend birding trip to the Monterey Bay area, September 25-26, 2010, for Mt. Diablo, Ohlone and Yolo Audubon chapters. The weekend will feature a pelagic trip on Saturday with Monterey Seabirding (www.montereyseabirding.com), and land birding on Sunday. Monterey Seabirding uses a local skipper with over 30 year’s experience. Leaders include Roger Wolfe, Don Roberson, Dan Singer and Steve Bailey. All four are seasoned, life-long birders, and have exceptional knowledge of the status and distribution of California birds.
This two-day trip is planned to coincide with the peak of fall migration. Over the years, the Monterey Bay/Carmel area has produced some excellent vagrants and a nice array of migrants in late September. Areas to be visited on Sunday may include Carmel River State Beach, Pt. Pinos, Salinas River State WMA, Moss Landing, Moonglow Dairy and Elkhorn Slough. Specific locations will be determined prior to the weekend, and will be based upon up-to-date information on rare bird sightings, weather conditions, tides, etc.
The pelagic trip is limited to a maximum of 25 participants. The cost is only $75.00 per person. Sign-ups will be taken on a first-come, first-served-basis. Make your check payable to Terry Colborn and mail to: 1714 Magnolia Place, Davis, CA 95618. Include each participant’s full name, address, cell phone number and email. Your payment in full is your reservation. Your space will be confirmed upon receipt of your check. In the event the boat trip is cancelled by Monterey Seabirding, due to weather conditions, etc., participants will receive a full refund. Meeting details and accommodations information will be sent to all participants well in advance of the weekend.
