Hello whalewatchers,
We had a great day at Isla San Benito today! Female elephant seals are returning to the island to molt and there are still plenty of this year’s pups on the beaches. (Photo thanks to Chris Earley.) They had good views of Guadalupe fur seals and ospreys on the nest and taking care of eggs and young.

After we departed Isla San Benito and on our way south, we were extremely lucky to find a blue whale. We spent some time oobseerving this whale since it is our first sighting. We are travelling to Laguna San Ignacio, arriving after breakfast tomorrow. While underway, we saw a laysan albatross this afternoon. Yesterday, we saw a black-footed albatross and both birds are lifers for David Brewer who has joined us from Canada!
