Leader: Jon Feenstra

We are excited to announce a new LAB pelagic trip! This is a 5-hour trip, giving us the opportunity to explore more areas and find more birds.

We depart in the early morning from King Harbor in Redondo Beach and we will return around noon.

We will explore the areas around Redondo Canyon, an underwater canyon that tends to have upwellings of food that attract birds. We will be on the lookout for shearwaters, alcids, terns, gulls, phalaropes, jaegers, and storm-petrels.

The trip will cost $100 per person, which includes a gratuity for the boat crew. Note that we will be on a 65-foot boat on the open ocean, and that there is a bit of a walk from the parking area to the boat. After making a reservation below, you will receive a confirmation and you will be emailed the meeting location.

Cancellations/refunds: LAB doesn’t make a profit on the trip, so we take a loss if there are unfilled spots on the boat. So no refunds UNLESS (1) you cancel more than 72 hours in advance, and (2) we can find someone to take your spot. To cancel after you have signed up, please email info@labirders.org and we will contact people on the wait list on a first-come-first-served basis to try to fill your spot. Please don’t try to bypass the wait list by offering your spot to someone else.

All individuals under the age of 18 participating in a LAB sponsored event must be accompanied by a parent, legal guardian, or an adult designated as responsible for their well-being including their safety, behavior, and compliance with all applicable rules and regulations during the course of the event, program, activity, etc.
