Going out on a pelagic boat trip is always an exciting experience.  Fresh air, the salt spray, and the unknown of what birds you might find!  We went on a pelagic out of Garibaldi, Oregon that had lots of unexpected surprises.

Global BirdFair is the UK's (and maybe the world's?) biggest birding event each year.  Vendors, optics companies, artists, and many more flock to Oakham, UK to enjoy spending time with other birders and seeing what's new in birding.  It's amazing to see 12,500+ birders, 280+ vendors all together because of birds.
