ACS/LA GRAY WHALE CENSUS UPDATE: We found our first gray whale for this season at 7:30 am! This was a very large adult that traveled quite close to shore, fluking on each deep dive: fantastic sight! We spotted several groups of common dolphin throughout the day; the largest group included over 1200 dolphin that spread out and milled, while the last group of several hundred were surface active – leaping high out of the water! A few small groups of bottlenose dolphin passed by just outside the kelp. We also spotted Risso’s dolphin. Our day ended with a gorgeous sunset and a nice green flash. -Alisa
