Trip results: Oregon Seabirds: October 22, 2011
Mild seas, but a bit of early drizzle, met birders on The Bird Guide, Inc.'s final trip of the year.
Highlights included two LAYSAN ALBATROSSES and over 130 BLACK-FOOTED ALBATROSSES--always a crowd-pleaser!
A kaleidoscope of NORTHERN FULMAR plumages was present among over 600 birds, including several light phase birds.
A couple NORTHERN FUR SEALS presented their classic "jug handle" pose--holding their extremely long hind flippers in their front paws, and looking something like a flower watering jug.
Full trip report is here, including Wayne Hoffman's diving BLUE WHALE photo.

Plan your next trip to see Oregon seabirds.
