Hi Tweeters/Pelagics:

There's still plenty of room available on tomorrow's pelagic trip (1/22) out
of Westport, WA and the weather looks good. Cost is $75 per person and the
boat leaves at 7:00 AM from dock No. 8 in Westport, WA.

Probable/possible birds this time of year include Black-footed Albatross,
Laysan Albatross, Northern Fulmar, Black-legged Kittiwake, Sooty and
Short-tailed Shearwater, Cassin's Auklet, and Pomarine Jaeger. Nearshore
species, such as Common Murre and Rhinoceros Auklet may also be observed,
and Rock Sandpiper are usually found on the Westport Jetty. This is the
also time of year for the unexpected. In January 1994, a Short-tailed
Albatross was well-seen by all on-board. In 1997, this trip had both
Mottled Petrel and Parakeet Auklets, and in 1998 a Red-legged Kittiwake was
seen. Several Parakeet Auklets were again seen last winter. This trip
will have lots of experienced birders on-board, so there's plenty of
identification help.

If you plan on coming, you can pay at the dock but please be there by 6:45
AM. Also, please e-mail me directly before 4:00 AM tomorrow so we have
final head count.
