Sighting

Observation Details: Not sure why this comes up as a high count, this is likely low. Only includes individuals positively identified as dark form birds from photos. Checklist Comments: Seabirding pelagic trip aboard the Stormy Petrel II, from the shelf break offshore to about 900 fathoms (5,400 feet) and back inshore to the shelf break. The warmer Gulf Stream water was right on the shelf today and had been gradually warming as we approached. Winds remained westerly while we were offshore and the wind speed varied from 10 to 15 mph with periods of up to 18 mph. Skies were sunny and clear. We had nice feeding flocks offshore and our time in the deep was productive! At least four Offshore Bottlenose Dolphins were seen on this leg. There was also one butterfly on this leg, looked like a Monarch in the distance, and we saw a few moths out there as well - not sure that some of these were not on the boat originally, but we do tend to see them offshore when we have westerly winds. Protocol: eBird - Traveling Count Duration (minutes): 286 Number of Observers: 22 Distance Traveled (km): 41.843 [Imported scientific name: Pterodroma hasitata (Dark-faced)]

Great app for learning Birds
I’ve been using the app for a couple of months and love it....Someone said it’s like a real life Pokémon Go for birds. They’re not far off! It’s something that the family can do that gets you out and about. Well worth downloading no matter your age.

Just what birding needs
We need more fun in birding, for years it has had a reputation for being up tight and stuffy and only perused by retirees and anoraks. Birda helps change that perception and firmly brings birding into the 21st century! Fun, interactive while still contributing to science and conservation. If you aren’t on it, why not??
