TexasPelagics.com is dedicated to
promoting public pelagic birding trips and advancing the
knowledge of pelagic birds in the deep waters of the Gulf of
Mexico off the Texas Coast.
TexasPelagics.com is a free, non-profit service to the
birding community and has no financial interest in promoting
Pelagic birding.
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.
Much has been learned about Pelagic
species status, distribution and occurrences in the last 19
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.
Regular Pelagic trips in
offshore Texas only really began in 1994. Over the last 19 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..
