Spring Pelagic Tuesday, June 2nd Dockside 7:00 am for an 7:30 am departure

Due to an opening in the Granite State Whale Watch calendar we are hosting a pelagic out of Rye Harbor on the MV Granite State. Recent off-shore trips have turned up Sooty and Great Shearwater, Northern Fulmar, Wilson’s and Leach's Storm- petrel and Phalaropes. (But obviously as with any trip no bird species is guaranteed or should to be expected!). Veteran birders Steve Mirick and Ben Griffith will lead the trip. The boat will depart at 7:30 with a 7:00 dockside check-in. We will return by 3:00. The cost is $75 per person to cover fuel and boat time.

The trip will be limited to 50 people. Please click on the link below for more information and to sign up.
