Pelagic Birding and Whale-watching Trip
Saturday, July 18
Join us on one of our monthly pelagic birding and whale-watching trip aboard the Steller Sunrise with Captain Lowell Wallace, Humboldt Charter Company. The Steller Sunrise is a 43-foot US Coast Guard-inspected vessel featuring a spacious exterior walk-around deck, an enclosed bathroom, and a heated cabin, making it ideal for these 6- to 8-hour trips at sea (depending on conditions). Join us as we go offshore from Humboldt Bay in search of seabirds, whales, dolphins, and other wildlife. RRAS leaders will be on board to help spot and identify wildlife. These are very popular trips, are limited to 15 people per trip, and cost $150 per person, with discounts available for students. Field trip dates include: July 18th (Saturday), August 15th (Saturday), September 5th (Saturday), October 10th (Saturday), and November 21st (Saturday). To reserve you spot, contact Sean, whiteouters [at] gmail.com.
