Not one pelagic between Washington's Olympic peninsula and Victoria Island. Then, on the Island, I somehow missed the resident Sky Larks. lol oh well. <BR/><BR/>Anyway, the ABA camps are listed on the ABA website under young birders. <BR/>I highly reccomend either Camps Yosemite (CA) or Chiricahua (Southeast AZ). I will be going to Chiricahua next summer. There is also High Island camp in TX that sounds fun.Chris Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17998883745688012052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5925868516716546136.post-45231159302657564062007-12-17T14:14:00.000-05:002007-12-17T14:14:00.000-05:00Aww, too bad you missed all the pelagics! :-( Good...Aww, too bad you missed all the pelagics! :-( Good luck catching up on them next year, though! <BR/><BR/>I'm not familiar with the ABA's birding camps -- I didn't even know they had camps. I'll have to go look into that. <BR/><BR/>I did attend an Audubon Society camp this past summer, though, which was absolutely amazing.<BR/><BR/>Well, good luck with your birding!<BR/><BR/>-AndreaEarthbirdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15112533196045402383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5925868516716546136.post-39602798094056956282007-12-12T21:14:00.000-05:002007-12-12T21:14:00.000-05:00Thanks.

If you're ever up on the coast of Maine, definitely take the opportunity to see these birds, if you can. I saw them both on the same trip, as well as some other amazing birds.<BR/><BR/>-AndreaEarthbirdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15112533196045402383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5925868516716546136.post-41759600107051434252007-12-12T00:39:00.000-05:002007-12-12T00:39:00.000-05:00Cool sketches.
