Hello,

WildResearch is organizing its next pelagic birding trip! This year’s trip will depart from Ucluelet on the Sunday the 15th September 2013. We will be using is the M.V. Frances Barkley, a 39m (128ft), 300 ton coastal freighter; a perfect platform for comfortable viewing of pelagic birds. The cost per person is $200 (before 1 August) and participants will also need a current WildResearch membership. There is room for 90 participants on the ship and there are currently 69 seats still available.

This trip is WildResearch’s major fund raising event, and funds raise will be spent on our avian monitoring programs like Iona Island Bird Observatory.

I really want to go on this trip, but I just don't think I am going to be able too.

Do you think you will run a fall trip next year (2014)?

Hi,

We haven't decided if we will do a spring 2014 or a fall 2014 trip, but there will be a 2014 trip. If we do a spring trip it will be during the latter half of April or early May to coincide with the shorebird migration in Tofino; the fall trip would be after the 12 Sept. to 1 Oct. The volume of pelagic birds is higher on the fall trip, but the spring trip offers better chances for a few seldom seen species. But no matter what trip we plan on doing, I'll post the trip here months in advance.

If anyone has a preference, chime in, because we will be making the decision in the next few months.

Thanks for the heads up, signed and posted to facebook, this government seems to put industry before nature and wildlife all too often. A very sad legacy to be leaving future generations
