AGE DOESN'T MATTER WHEN OCEAN BIRDING
WOMEN LEADING THE WAY
Shearwater Journeys' August 19, 2016 Half Moon Bay pelagic trip hosted two female birders, one aged 9 and one aged 92. This is the biggest age spread we've seen to date on any of our pelagic trips in one day.
Nine year old Elle studies her field guide and Shearwater Journeys' checklist of birds and marine mammals while hundreds of ELEGANT TERNS can be viewed from the window.
Ninety-two year old Jacqueline searches for BLACK-FOOTED ALBATROSSES.
Jacqueline and her 70 year old daughter, Annie were traveling along the coast all the way from Alaska.
On top of that, they were car-camping!
Sleeping on a four inch piece of foam in the back of their SUV.
Jacqueline is one tough lady.
This is Elle on the bow with her Auntie, Meghan.
They are videotaping KILLER WHALES with a cell phone!
Elle's mom described this as "one of the best days of summer!"
Auntie Meghan is one tough and talented birder, herself.
As expedition staff on many of the Heritage Expeditions voyages that I make, she is, hand's down. one of the best in the world!
Meghan is a World Girl Birder, too.
Meghan travels to the ends of the earth and will soon be
embarking on a new journey. Read about it, here.
What inspiring girls and women we had on board this day!
