Hello all,
Day 1 of our 2014 whale watching season has been great so far! We’ve seen three species of large whales, all before by 1 PM–gray, humpback and fin whales. There were also some common dolphin around Islas Todos Santos, along with several elephant seals and sea lions. We didn’t stay long because the ocean is really calm and we wanted to get offshore and see what we could find. We’ve enjoyed lots of bird life with plenty of black-vented shearwaters, Xantus’murrelets, gulls , Northern fulmar and Cassin’s auklet. Today’s picture is a gray whale fluke. It came from a group of 10 gray whales headed south. We spent an hour with them and had to leave to keep with the schedule. Looking forward to tomorrow.
