Currently in Manteo, North Carolina enjoying some spectacular seabirding aboard the Country Girl out of Pirates Cove. We've seen good numbers of Pterodroma petrels with well over a hundred Black-capped Petrels and brief encounters with Bermuda (Cahow) and one, possibly two, Trindade (Herald) Petrels. Also South Polar Skua on 3 out of 4 days, plus playful Arctic Terns and many great looks at Band-rumped (Madeiran) and Leach's Storm-Petrels. Marine mammals included a pod of Cuvier's Beaked Whales and large numbers of Short-finned Pilot Whales.
