West Coast Petrels from a Cruise
06/13/24 • 61 min
I know what you are thinking: "another cruise, really?!?" Hear us out - this one is birdy. Spring repositioning cruises along the west coast of the US offer a good chance at seeing some of the pelagic species that are tough otherwise. Listen in for our trip on the Sapphire Princess in search of petrels.

Santa Cruz Island & Island Scrub-Jays
Going to see Island Scrub-Jays was always a dream of ours. They are an isolated species and even considered one of the rarest in the United States. So, we took a day boat trip to Santa Cruz Island in hopes of seeing at least one!

Los Angeles Birding Spots: Chino Hills and El Dorado
In advance of our repositioning cruise, we had a few days to bird around LA. We've been there a few times before to bird, so we were searching for new spots and new birds. That drew us to Chino Hills State Park which is a great place for wildflowers, hiking, and Black-chinned Sparrows. Before jumping on the cruise, we had some time to spend at El Dorado Regional Park.
*the name of the museum we were trying to recall is Arizona Sonora Desert Museum - thanks Taylor! Additionally, we mentioned multiple times an incorrect name for the trail we hiked at Chino Hills State Park. It is properly named the Coal Canyon Trail, not the Coal Creek Trail. We apologize for any confusion due to the mistake we did not catch before publishing the episode.
