Tropical Audubon Pelagic Trip May 30, 2009 We had a pretty good number of species on this trip but with no real rarities. The seas were 2 feet or less which made for a nice day. We also had cloud cover which kept the temperature nice. The winds were light out of the southwest. Any winds with a westerly component to them, usually makes for a slow day for pelagic birding. Many of the species we saw were quite a distance away, we had close looks at others though. Bottle-nosed Dolphin were seen early in the morning as we were leaving but at a distance. Loggerhead Sea Turtles were seen by a few and a Hammerhead Shark which I missed. Many people got lifers which was nice! A few photos of the trip are below. Philip the co-captain with captain Chris!  Cape Florida Lighthouse at Bill Baggs State Park, many good birds have been seen there! 
Flying fish, a flock or is it a school? WILSON'S STORM-PETREL, two birds Blackpoll Warbler, two birds that flew by! Hammerhead Shark
