gray whale

Hello whalewatchers: Another spectacular day in Laguna San Ignacio with plenty of close encounters with gray whales, mostly cows and calves. The weather is great with clear skies and calm winds. Some folks went to the beach this morning for a walk and some quiet time. This afternoon was all about the whales. The people can’t get enough of those gray whales.
Today’s photo is Capt Aaron and Luis with a group of whalewatchers waiting for the cow and calf to return for another pass.
Team Searcher

Hello whalewatchers,
We’ve enjoyed another picture-perfect day in Laguna San Ignacio with clear skies and light winds. We started the day with a visit from a cow and calf next to the Searcher. The cow was interested in the anchor line and had a good time rubbing on it for a while. They returned for two more visits throughout the day and they were here right up until we had to leave this afternoon

The pangas had good whalewatching all day with great viewing and close encounters on just about every trip. The last trip of the day provided everyone with a trip of a lifetime with close encounters with a cow and calf.
We also had a trip to the mangroves for one panga. There was an interesting sighting made on that trip, a red tailed tropicbird was seen by all and some good photos to make sure of the ID. Not too many sightings of that bird in this area! Also there was enough interest in going to the beach for the final trip this afternoon for one panga.
We are headed south and look forward to the area outside Bahia Magdalena tomorrow.
More then,
Capt Art
