Hello whalewatchers,
Everyone had a great visit to Islas San Benito today. There were loads of elephant seals including jousting males, mating and lots of nursing pups with moms. About 25 Guadalupe fur seals were seen in one area and everyone had great looks. Ospreys, ravens and the endemic sparrows were on the birders’ list.
After leaving the island we saw lots of Cassin’s auklets and black-vented shearwaters. The crew did a great job finding a fin whale and we spent about an hour viewing it with some great looks. We are traveling south to Laguna San Ignacio.
Here is a photo of the anchorage as we leave. It is quite green.
