We are hosting an exciting pelagic trip to Guadalupe Island, Mexico in search of the Ainley’s Storm-petrel. In the late fall and winter, the islands surrounding Guadalupe are the home of “Ainley’s” Storm-Petrel (Oceanodroma leucorhoa.cheimomnestes). “Ainley’s” is currently considered a subspecies of Leach’s Storm-petrel, but a growing body of evidence, including vocal and genetic differences suggest full species status is warranted.
Join top-notch leaders Steve Howell and Todd McGrath on this prime-time Nov 30-Dec 4, 2011 trip. Many other seabirds are on the target list as well. Click below for details:
