[birding] August 8 bird guide pelagic trip photos

[Cheryl Whelchel]

I went out on one of Greg's Bird Guide trips out of Newport on the 8th.  The water was like glass it was so calm.  I couldn't believe the number of sharks we saw.  We came upon a large fishing vessel and Greg estimated more than 400 Black-footed Albatross were in its wake.  It really was a sight to see.  Probably the coolest thing was actually getting to study Marbled Murrelets, instead of getting a half second look in the rolling surf!

I posted some pictures at the following link.

Happy birding,
