Seabirders on the September 5-9 trip were thrilled to report a very unusual sighting of a southern ocean bird–the white chinned petrel. They are searching around the Channel Islands today and the bird flew past the boat. We should get photos when the birders return on Friday morning! All on board got a new life bird today, including all the esteemed leaders, Todd McGrath, Paul Guris, Terry Hunefeld, and Adam Searcy.
