There’s always time to appreciate dolphins too! From 2018 Pelagic Birding Tour
We’re looking forward to welcoming our group of birders and leaders this weekend to access the deep-water areas of the ABA birding zone, to search out the specialties of our region and maybe a rarity or two!
One leader joining us this year is Adam Searcy and we are happy to have him back aboard for 2019. Check out his bio below and stay tuned to this space for sightings reports from the field during the trip from Sept 2-6.
Adam Searcy is a biologist with interests in bird censusing techniques and methodologies, changes in status and distribution (with a keen interest in historical ecology), and the never-ending challenges presented by field identification. His interests and experience include work with native plants, fishes, and California’s herpetofauna. He’s done field work in many of California’s myriad habitats, including offshore waters and most of the islands.
Adam is currently working as an independent consultant and at the WFVZ, a large avian collection (museum) in southern California. He is also working on a comprehensive status and distribution of the birds of Ventura County, CA, and has dreams of writing a natural history of the county.
He is a member of the CBRC, an active editor of eBird records, and is very interested in citizen science initiatives, especially when they strengthen the social conservation ethic and generate public interest in the natural world.
