Hello whalewatchers: Today the passengers enjoyed a walk around West San Benitos Island, led by Searcher naturalist Rob Nawojchik, and The Travelling Naturalist leader, Ian Rowlands. Many elephant seals were seen, including recently weaned pups and older juveniles that have returned to the island to molt. Everyone was thrilled to see the endangered Guadalupe fur seals too. 
Birders were excited to see a variety of species including several pairs of oprey, peregrine falcons, and horned larks. 
We’re headed south to San Ignacio Lagoon and we’ll be there after breakfast.
Capt Aaron and Team Searcher
