Visit our recently updated Pegalic
Bird Trip Schedule for 2010!
Join us aboard the new CONDOR EXPRESS for one of the
premier pelagic trips on the South-Central California coast! With a huge
raised foredeck and unobstructed views from the upper sundeck (with
lots of comfortable bench seating!) it's the perfect platform for
bird watching. Let the professional crew take you to the outer offshore
waters surrounding the Santa Barbara Channel (referred to as the
"Galapagos" of the northern hemisphere). The Condor EXPRESS's
extremely stable ride makes it ideal for spotting & photographing birds
in all weather conditions! These trips offer your best chance for
sighting pterodromas and exotics.
Most of our trips
concentrate on the Arguello Canyon, Rodriguez Dome or Richardson's Rock
and San Migule Island. These deep canyons and high seamounts create
tremendous upwelling and are the meeting grounds for the cold water
Alaskan Current from the north with the much warmer Davidson Current
from the south. The result is a VERY dynamic and food rich body of water
that attracts a wonderful variety of offshore birds. Birders get a rare
opportunity to add many species to their "Life List"! All of our trips
feature well known, respected leaders with extensive local knowledge The
crew of the CONDOR EXPRESS have traveled these waters for
years and will compliment the trip with narrative about the natural
history of the area. Many whales, dolphins and pinnapeds can also be
seen so be prepared for a full day.
Over the years the Condor
and now the new "CONDOR EXPRESS" has built a very
impressive sighting list both for pelagic
bird species
and a huge variety of cetaceans
as well!
The CONDOR EXPRESS's comfortable accommodations and
complete indoor galley make for an enjoyable, relaxing way to see the
outer waters! Join us on one of our
scheduled
trips.
