Pelagic Photo Galleries

This page lists all the photo galleries of seabirds, marine mammals, fish and other subjects that have been captured on film on Texas Pelagics. There are still many species I don't have pictures of yet, but I'm working on it. If you have pictures of birds from Texas Pelagics, especially of ones we're missing, please email them to the webmaster for posting on this site.

Seabirds of the Lower Texas Coast:

Much has been learned about Pelagic species status, distribution and occurrances in the last 15 years. This annotated checklist by Brad McKinney was updated on Sept 22, 2009 and is an excellent reference to the status and distribution of seabirds that have been found on South Padre Island Pelagic trips. Check out this page to learn more.

Pelagic Birding Archives:

Regular Pelagic trips in offshore Texas only really began in 1994. Over the last 15 years many dedicated pelagic birders have made great efforts to continue organizing Pelagic birding trips to the deep waters offshore Texas. It is my intention for this website to become a single location for the archiving of pelagic trip records and pictures of the Birds and Animals seen in Texas pelagic waters..
