My husband and I will be going on a cruise from NYC to Quebec in early Sept. It isn't a bird-specific cruise but we are hoping to see some pelagic birds while we're aboard (I'm not sure what the likelihood of this is, since we've never been on a cruise before!)
We usually rely on apps in the field for ID, but I'm not sure what our wifi access will be like. Does any one have a recommendation for a good travel size pelagic guide that we could take with us? I'd LOVE a pamphlet type one for ease of packing, but thats probably wishful thinking.
Also if anyone has been birding on a big cruise ship, is it worth it to bring a scope, or will it be too "bumpy" on the water to use?
