Hello whalewatchers:
We officially entered Mexico this morning at dawn. Everything went well. We traveled to Islas Todos Santos and saw northern elephant seals. I counted 12 pups, most of them still with their mothers, and one single male. There were about 20 harbor seals , peregrine falcons, oystercatchers, pelagic and double crested comorants, and one brown booby.
We continued south in search of wildlife. We saw a few single gray whales and one humpback whale. We also enjoyed watching large herds of common dolphin both long- and short-beaked. There was also an occasional mola mola, sunfish, to see.
For the birders, there were loads of black-vented shearwaters, Cassin’s auklets and a few pairs of Scripps murrelets. A black-footed albatross came by the boat as I was writing this report. Our weather has been breezy with sunny skies. The group has been relaxing and catching up on rest.
More tomorrow,
Team Searcher
