If you are interested in going on a pelagic to Race Rocks, VNHS is running one on Oct 16th out of Victoria.

On their last trip on Oct 1st they had some Sabine's Gulls as a highlight.

For anyone considering this trip, it is fantastic. I was on the Oct 1 trip and along with the Sabine's Gulls we also had a pair of Golden Eagles, two Western Gulls, several hundred Turkey Vultures, and large numbers of Common Murre and Rhino Auklets. We also had a number of great mammals including: a Sea Otter (!!!!), several Orca, 2 Humpback whales, and many sea lions and elephant seals. Last year we had both Sooty and Pink-Footed Shearwaters. If there are still seats available, it is well worth your time!

That's so awesome Matt. When the Young Birders and I took the same boat out last year on our pelagic we had all 3 Jaeger species and a Red Phalarope as highlights. You never know what you will find out to Race Rocks.

Thanks for sharing.

The pelagic trip was rescheduled to next weekend, with the arrival of the 4 Brown Pelicans there today it would be a great trip to go on!
