Tropical Audubon Society

South Florida’s Voice of Conservation

As usual, Michael Brothers produced a great trip out of a new location this year. Instead of the 3am departure from Ponce Inlet, we left at a pelagic beach bum time of 6am from Port Canaveral. The seas were perfectly calm which made for a smooth 12 hours at sea. The trip consisted of:

White-tailed Tropicbird
Black-capped Petrel
Sooty Tern
Leach's Storm-Petrel
Band-rumped Storm-Petrel (Grant's and a probable Madeiran)
Wilson's Storm-Petrel
Sooty Shearwater
Audubon's Shearwater
Cory's Shearwater (only borealis seen, no Scopoli's)
