PELAGIC BIRDING TRIP ARCHIVES

There have been 47 publically available organized Pelagic Birding trips to Offshore Texas in since their inception in 1992.

TABLE 1 below lists all the previous Texas Pelagic Birding Trips for 2000 to 2009. During this period there have been 28 public pelagic birding trips successfully run. Most of these were out of South Padre Island aboard the "Osprey II". The 2 exceptions were aboard the Wharf Cat from Port Aransas. 

Click on the "REPORT" link to view the trip report and "PHOTOS" link to view the photo gallery.  As I have time to gather more information from past trips I'll update the archive pages. I don't have any photos from the trips without a photo link, but if you do you're welcome to send them to me for adding to the photo galleries.

TABLE 2 below lists all 19 successfully organized Texas Pelagic birding trips from 1992 to 1999.
