URL:http://www.harbourliving.ca/event/tofino-shorebird-festival-pelagic-trip-to-the-continental-shelf-break/
LOCATION:Ocean Outfitters Ltd. :: 368 Main Street Tofino, 
DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:<p>This trip is an all-day excursion to some of the offshore banks and canyons in search of albatrosses, shearwaters, storm-petrels and other pelagic birds. Exact route to be determined based on local weather, fishing activity, and up-to-date reconnaissance. Our goal is to bird out to, and then along, the continental shelf edge near one of the large offshore canyons about 35 miles off the coast.<br /><br />Previous years have turned up some amazing birds and marine mammals and this is a one-of-a-kind experience and a unique opportunity to explore the pelagic waters off of Vancouver Island. Early May is a transition period when wintering species begin to move out and summer migrants arrive in these water. Highlights of past trips include: laysan Albatross, Sabine&rsquo;s gull, Arctic tern, short-tailed, sooty, and flesh-footed shearwater, fork-tailed storm petrel, large flocks of both red and red-necked phalaropes, and many more! Marine mammals are also commonly encountered and previous trips have enjoyed excellent views of grey and humpbacked whale, orca, Risso&rsquo;s dolphin, and more. Rare and unusual species are always possible, and we will come prepared with chum and do our best to draw in something spectacular!<br /><br />Space is limited to 12 people, and seats are first-come, first-serve. Cost is $220 per person. <br /><br /><strong>Please book through</strong> <a href="http://www.oceanoutfitters.bc.ca/">Ocean Outfitters</a> at 1-877-906-2326 or <span id="yui_3_17_2_1_1458180220103_650" class="site-phone">250-725-2866</span> or <a href="mailto:ocean@oceanoutfitters.bc.ca.">ocean@oceanoutfitters.bc.ca. </a><br /><br />The trip is weather dependent.
