FARALLON ISLANDS BOAT TRIP
SUNDAY, JULY 10, 2011
As part of our usual field trip series, Sacramento Audubon Society (SAS) is sponsoring a trip off the coast of San Francisco to the Farallon Islands. We’ll travel out the Golden Gate and cruise around Southeast Farallon Island, one of San Francisco’s “desert islands” and part of the Point Reyes-Farallon Islands Marine Sanctuary. We’ll be on the “Salty Lady”, the same boat we’ve chartered many times in the past. The capacity of the boat is 45 people, but we will restrict the trip to the first 30 that sign up, to ensure everyone has plenty of room. The trip will be approximately 8 hours long, departing out of Sausalito.
This will be the 21st year SAS has sponsored this trip, and every year is different! It is a great trip to see new birds to add to your life list. We should see many species that are usually only seen offshore or as a tiny speck in your scope from the shore! A partial list from last year: Cassin’s and Rhinoceros Auklets, Pigeon Guillemot, Tufted Puffin, Brown Booby, Black-Footed Albatross, Sooty Shearwater, three species of cormorants, and Northern Fulmar. A naturalist will give a brief pre-departure lecture and will be with us all day to answer questions and provide information on the Islands and the wildlife. What will we see this year? Join us and discover for yourself.
· The boat departs Sausalito promptly at 8 am and returns about 3:30 pm. The pre-trip lecture starts promptly at 7:30 am.
· The trip cost is $90; the trip is limited to the first 30 people that sign up, so sign up early to reserve your spot. Sign up deadline is June 15.
· Detailed instructions and pre-trip information will be provided once you reserve your space. Please use the reservation form provided below.
· For further information, contact Linda Pittman (916) 715-1876 .
