Sightings: Fall and Winter 1999-2000

Published in 2000

Autumn and winter are exciting times, especially for those in search of off-course strays. This year did not disappoint, as witnessed by the rarities presented below for both seasons. A bonus was Alabama participation in the Migration Over the Gulf project, monitoring trans-Gulf migration from offshore drilling platforms. Previously this was performed only off Louisiana, but this fall the program was expanded to include several rigs in Texas and one in Alabama waters.
