Brookline Bird Club – America’s most active bird club!

Our 2024 overnight pelagic trips are now open for registration!

This August, the Brookline Bird Club will be running two back-to-back trips on Saturday-Sunday August 24-25 and then Monday-Tuesday August 26-27. If you have the flexibility to sign up for the weekday August 26-27 trip, please do. The second of the back-to-back trips should have the advantage of advance scouting from the first trip. Please see below for a brief trip description and sign-up links.

Overnight Pelagic Trips from Hyannis, MA to Hydrographer Canyon Area
Join the BBC on the Helen H out of Hyannis, MA to search for pelagic birds on an overnight trip to the Hydrographer Canyon area.  We expect to reach warm Gulf Stream influenced waters far offshore to see shearwaters, storm-petrels, jaegers and more!  Possible targets include White-faced Storm-petrels, Band-rump Storm-petrel, and Audubon’s Shearwater.  A fabulous chance to spend some time at sea looking for seabirds.

Timing: Depart at 6:00am Day 1, return 5:00pm Day 2
Cost: BBC Members: $340.00. Non-members: $380.00.
Capacity: 50 participants each trip [note, the August 24-25th trip is currently 60% full as the BBC is honoring a credit carryover from last year’s cancelled pelagic]. We maintain a waitlist if interest exceeds capacity.
