The February 2011 Los Angeles Audubon Winter Pelagic Trip to the waters of the Santa Monica Bay and the Palos Verdes Peninsula off the coast of Los Angeles will see regular species like the abundant Black-vented Shearwater. We will be searching for any other birds that may lie within their flocks.
This 8 hour trip departs from Ports of Call In San Pedro at 8:00 a.m. on the m/v Pacific Adventure.
The 2010 Trip was cancelled due to a winter storm.
