Westport Seabirds is the longest running database of pelagic trip sightings in the world. Bruce is a regular spotter on these trips.
Bruce is at the spotting scope in this 1982 photo from Dan Roberson's Website on the history of California Birding.
Shearwater Journeys is Debbie Love Shearwater's Pelagic Birding Company that runs out of Monterey Bay and other northern California ports. I believe she may be stopping leading these trips soon if not already.
