Saturday August 18 2012 - Pelagic Birds, Sambro, HRM
Leader: David Currie
476-6616 (c)
876-8745 (h)
David_currie@ns.sympatico.ca
Meet at The Government Wharf at Sambro, NS at 6:45AM.
Directions: From the Armdale Roundabout in Halifax. Take Herring Cove
Road_Ketch Harbour Road (Route 349) to Sambro. As you come into the village
of Sambro, watch for and turn left at Government Wharf Road and travel a
very short distance to the parking area.
Our Captain is Patrick Gray who is the Harbour Master for Sambro. He
operates a 40-ft Cape Island lobster boat which has two long benches for
sitting on both port and starboard sides with a large open deck that can
easily fit 18 people. Life jackets and safety equipment are on board and the
boat will not leave if weather or the sea conditions are poor. The trip
lasts for a planned time of 6-7 hours and about 25-30 km off shore. Chum
(ground up fish and slurry) will be used to attract the birds closer to the
boat. The cost will be approximately $45 per person which will cover the
boat cost and chum. Please bring your own lunches and liquid refreshments.
Sunscreen and motion sickness precautions are vital. There is a Marine
Toilet just in case! Sea spray is possible, dress in layers and for wamth.
Last August, we encountered Northern Gannet, Northern Fulmar, Wilson's
Petrel, Pomarine Jeager, South Polar Skua, both phaloropes, Great
Shearwater, Sooty Shearwater, and Cory's Shearwater so this is a great way
to see pelagic birds up close. There is a chance we will see Parasitic
Jaeger, Great Skua, Manx Shearwater, and Leach's Petrel as well as whales,
seals, porpoises, tuna.
Registration is necessary as this is first-come first-serve. Storm date:
Sunday, August 19
