red-billed tropicbird

Hello whale watchers:
We had another great day with a early walk on the peninsula at Bahia Agua Verde. The weather is still good with a few clouds and a light breeze. The temperature dropped quite a bit with a frontal passage today.
A few snorkellers went in the water at this great spot and then we headed out to look for whales. We found six different blue whales just east of Agua Verde, one of which was a fluking whale. We enjoyed some great looks, then we headed south in search of a toothed whale. We found a group of 30 or 40 bottlenose dolphin that gave us a good show.
We continued south with not much luck on whales but we did see 5 or 6 redbilled tropic birds up close. They are such pretty birds. We also found a few boobies and lots of pelicans.
As we travelled further south towards the south end of Isla San Jose, there was a little bioluminescence and good star gazing in the dark.
Looking forward to tomorrow, as usual.
