Our ninth annual 5-day deep-water pelagic birding trip will take place from Monday September 5 to Friday September 9, 2011.
September trips from 2003-2009 have amassed an amazing list of species. We find rarities and mega-rarities in deep water along the edge of the continental shelf on nearly every trip. The diverse array of birds seen is a result of a diverse itinerary – from near-shore to inter-islands to the edge of the Continental Shelf.

NEW PRE-TRIP EXTENSION: Guests who sign up for the 2011 pelagic trip may participate in a special field trip to the Salton Sea led by Todd McGrath (one of your Searcher trip leaders) and sponsored by the Buena Vista Audubon Society on Sunday, September 4, the day before you board Searcher.

AND THERE’S MORE: Participants who come to San Diego in advance of the pelagic trip may join us for a presentation by Todd McGrath at the Ramada Limited Motel. He will share photos, review possible sightings and offer insights for getting most out of your trip. Free to all! Sunday, September 4 at 7 p.m.
