Best shots of Pelagic birds from Kolibri Expeditions pioneering Tumbes Pelagic.

This pelagic ran on June 24, 2008 from Punta Sal in Tumbes department and was the first pelagic we arranged in Northern Peru. The result was very satisfying. Indeed it was so satisfying that I immediately re-wrote our North Peru itineraries to also include an optional Tumbes pelagic.

On the trip we documented 2 species previously not photographed in Peruvian waters - Galapagos Petrel and White-faced Storm-Petrel. The later a lifer for me and the former a Peru tick. On March 18, 2009 we shall run the second pelagic. We hope to be able to photograph additional species on this trip, that previously are not documented. See Kolibri Expeditions pelagic web-page for more info.

Beautiful photos of beautiful birds! We made a trip in Panama out to see the White Tropicbird. I thought I'd die from the sea sickness, but the bird was so worth it.

Guess I'll have to add "Pelagic Tour" to my must dos in Peru: )

[...] No disease, but I knew I was going to see something good on this pelagic, as it was only the second one ever organized. The last trip organized in July 2008 has several good species that I have accounted for in a previous blog-post. [...]
