Greetings All,

I was fortunate enough to attend back to back weekend pelagic trips 
sponsored by Jen Brumfield, Gabe Leidy and Local Patch Birding. I 
encourage birders to attend any future pelagic trips that are hosted by 
LPB.  The guides along with the captain of the boat worked as a team in 
assisting all participants in seeing the birds which made it such a 
rewarding experience. The species we viewed were the closest I've ever 
seen. The views of the Parasitic and Pomarine Jaegers, as these were 
hunting over Lake Erie, were breathtaking. We were able to view the true 
essence of these spectacular birds as the captain of the boat followed the 
birds in action. Many participants were able to capture some photos as 
these birds put on a show coming head-on toward the boat and flying into 
the wake. IT WAS INCREDIBLE. The guides and captain were over-the-
top...the participants were fantastic...the food was great...but most of 
all the field experience was amazing!!
