There is an emptiness inside of me from the lack of pelagic birds I've seen (all of them), but now that I can hear testaments about the dignity one risks on such a venture, I guess I can consider myself lucky as well.<br /><br />Still, I can't put it off for ever. You got some nice shots Seagull, and Pelagics don't seem to come up too often in the blogosphere.

After I left that comment, I was humbly thinking how really nice it would be to have some confirmation on the tricksters out there. To further humble myself, I admit to having yet to see an Atlantic Puffin, I know, how LAME! So this summer I will be eating my elitist words and joining the ranks of a bunch of tourists - summer people, summer not. Funny, I was scheduled to do a survey off the coast of Maine today but was weathered out.Laurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09823589589857736272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7172285466289881050.post-75774250672491274532012-05-24T13:00:36.211-07:002012-05-24T13:00:36.211-07:00ONLY paid boat surveys?

Pelagics are pretty hilarious, although the crowds can be annoying, and practically everyone doesnt have the luxury of an available personal boat. It is really nice to have skilled leaders at your disposal, since birding at sea is fucking hard!Seagull Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01851438505719552645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7172285466289881050.post-38441297816941732492012-05-24T12:43:57.266-07:002012-05-24T12:43:57.266-07:00Hhhmmm, I've only ever had the luxury of getti...Hhhmmm, I've only ever had the luxury of getting paid to do boat surveys, with just the captain and myself on board - now I'm not quite sure if I can bring myself to go on a group trip after reading this!
