I must acknowledge the efforts of the Texas Pelagics community of dedicated birders who pioneered, organized and led all the previous trips to date.  I dedicate this website to this group of Texas Pelagic enthusiasts who have made all the trips and therefore this website possible.  I know (or have met) almost all of these people but certainly there were others as well who I am unaware of. If you know of someone who should be acknowledged on this list please let me know.
