Hello whalewatchers: What a great day! The island was great! The weather is fantastic! We left the island and the first whale we saw was sperm whale. It was a single male that was on the surface for a long time. We waited for it to resurface and unfortunately we had to wait for 50 minutes and then we had to travel 3 miles to get close to the area. The whale was down again for another 50 minutes and we only had to travel 2 miles to get close and I think everyone got a view in the binoculars or the telephoto lens. We elected to continue on and see what the rest of the afternoon would bring. We found lots of bird life with dolphins and a couple of small humpbacks. We were close to Isla Monserate in the area that we traditionally see lots of life.
One humpback lunged through the bait ball with the pelicans, boobies, gulls and dolphins were feeding on. Quite a sight!
Today’s picture is from the island–the famous (practically) endemic yellow-footed gull.
