Hi All,

It is once again that time of year again where I am starting to run my annual spring pelagics for the third consecutive year. I am happy to announce that to start the spring pelagic season off, I will be leading aMay7thpelagic out of BodegaBayto Bodega Canyon, Cordell Bank and possibly the Continental Shelf (assuming weather permits). Thetrip will be on the New Sea Angler (65 ft. Coast Guard approved vessel) with Captain Rick Powers,a 40+ year veteran of the open ocean and someone who has been runningpelagic trips for close to four decades.The goal will be to get offshore as quickly as possiblein order to maximize time for spring specialities such as MURPHY'S, HAWAIIAN, and COOK'S PETRELS all of which we were able to see on the May 8th boat last spring! Among the very appealing petrels should also be a variety of offshorebirdsheadednorthto the Arctic to breed including jaegers, terns and phalaropes as well as species are Leach's Storm-Petrels, Laysan Albatrosses (we had 8 on one boat last May), Parakeet Auklets (a species we were able to see two years), any species of booby and of course we always hope to find a Short-tailed Albatross. Spring is a time of year not often covered by pelagic boats so who knows what wemaydiscover out there.

If you would like to sign up, please let me know privately at lucascorneliussen04@... . The cost of the trip will be$160per person.

Good Birding,

Lucas Corneliussen
