Subject: [Ohio-birds] LAKE ERIE PELAGICS JAEGERS/GULLS
Greetings all - There's still a few spots open on the FALL 2013 Local Patch
pelagics. See details and dates below. We're filling up fast --Ohio birders
have the opportunity to attend multiple "pelagics" this year, on Lake Erie,
seeking jaegers, rare gull species and other uncommon and exciting
waterbirds. Ohio leads the Great Lakes region in these offshore
opportunities - no other state offers boat trips throughout the Fall/Winter
period for open-water specialty birds. These birding trips are hands down
utterly thrilling, and are making history in our state and abroad. Last
year, Local Patch Birding pelagics recorded multiple point-blank Sabine's
Gulls and Parasitic Jaegers (5 Pomarine Jaegers in 2011), and a Black Swamp
Bird Observatory's trip had fantastic views (for all) of King Eider, with
point-blank Pomarine Jaeger and Purple Sandpiper in years past.
This year, a whole new set of trips are offered. Local Patch Birding is
running four trips in late summer/early fall that target Sabine's Gull,
Parasitic Jaeger, and Long-tailed Jaeger. Local Patch Birding (LPB) trip
dates are: August 25th, September 1st, September 8th, and September 15th,
2013, falling within the prime period for Sabine's Gull, Long-tailed and
Parasitic Jaegers. A fifth trip, offered during the Midwest Birding
Symposium, is full.
Each Local Patch boat trip is 7 hours in total, covering 40+ miles of open
Lake Erie waters, and if weather permits, heading out to 14 miles on Lake
Erie, towards the Canadian border. LPB trips leave port out of Vermilion,
Ohio.
For more details (itinerary, photos) on Local Patch Birding late summer/Fall
2013 boat trips seeking prime rarities, visit:
http://www.jenbrumfield.com/?page_id=1775
Stay tuned for late-season BSBO trip dates to be announced, seeking Pomarine
Jaeger, Purple Sandpiper, Black-legged Kittiwake and other key rarities
(Little and Black-headed Gulls possible, plus Iceland and Glaucous Gulls),
and leaving port in Cleveland. Black Swamp Bird Observatory's boat trip
dates have yet to be determined and will be announced within the summer
period.
