Hello whalewatchers:
We started our final trip of the 2014 season and we had a great first day. We had a short visit to Isla Todos Santos and saw three different pinnipeds, oystercatchers, peregrine falcons, pelagic commorants, and brown pelicans on the nest with chicks. Our first whales were seen just south of the island with a huge herd of short-beaked common dolphin.There were 2000-3000 animals spread out over a large area. We travelled further south and saw five gray whales northbound. Further south again we saw a total of 25 fin whales with at least 15 whales in a very small area of a couple of miles. Today’s photo is of one of the fins on the surface.
