There are so many variables to pelagic birding trips with weather, sea conditions, fish movement patterns, and more!  So sometimes it is a surprise what you happen upon.  The San Diego Bird Festival offers pelagic trips and we were lucky enough to get on one.  Main Story Begins at: 13:40Show notesBuy me a CoffeeSan Diego Bird FestivalSpring Chirp  Great American EclipseDark Sky WeekeBird Global Big DayNew SeaforthFlock to Marion 2025 - BirdLife South Africa CruiseeBird Trip ReportBirds/Animals mentioned:Scripps's Murrelet Heermann's Gull  Intro Bird Call:  Black Oystercatcher (Recorded: Washington March, 2019) Outro Bird Call: Pink-footed Shearwaters (Recorded: Offshore Washington, July 2020) Connect with us at...IG: @Hannahgoesbirding and @Erikgoesbirding Twitter: @WeGoBirding Facebook: @HannahandErikGoBirding Email us at HannahandErikGoBirding@gmail.com Website: http://www.gobirdingpodcast.com

For this episode, similar to my other festival episodes, I interviewed birders visiting the festival. We talked about some of their memorable birding experiences as well as their experience at the festival. The first interviews were recorded indoors and the rest were recorded outdoors. In the background, you will hear an occasional airplane and also some exotic birds from a nearby table run by the Free Flight Bird Sanctuary, that I actually was able to visit on another day and that interview will be the next episode (44).
