November 19th Birding With David Simpson Newsletter

"Pelandgic" Birding

November is the peak month for “Pelandgic” birding on the east coast of Florida.  What’s “Pelandgic” birding you say?  “Pelandgic” birding is a term coined by a friend of mine, Charlie Ewell.  If you are looking for pelagic (ocean going) birds from the comfort of land, you are pelandgic birding, my kind of sea birding!
