Tour #1 (Feb 7-18, 2019) – Islas San Benito

Hello whalewatchers,

Osprey by Colin Barber

We had a great day at San Benito today. With overcast conditions and light winds, everyone enjoyed great hiking weather. The group saw lots of elephant seals and 7 Guadalupe fur seals, a rare and endangered seal. There were female elephant seals with pups on the beach at the village where we land our skiffs, and a pair of osprey on the rocks there as well.

We are headed south again enroute to Laguna San Ignacio. We have seen several Cassin’s auklets on the way with a trio of gray whales headed south as well.
