A book recommendation

Sue and Larry Schott from Ontario, Canada, wrote to recommend a book about Laguna San Ignacio. They read it in preparation for their February, 2012 tour to that same spot!

“We came across an excellent book which you may already know about. It is called ‘Whales Touching the Mystery’ by Doug Thomson. It is primarily about the gray whales, the history and the current ‘keepers of the lagoon.’ I am reading it for the second time. It is one of the books that intrigued us initially on San Ignacio Lagoon and being able to get close encouters with the gray whales. It is an excellent read for anyone doing your whale watching tour.”

Pelagic Birding Trip: Day 3

Today was a good day for seabirds and for whales. We saw sperm whales, blue whales,  fin whales, Baird’s beaked whales and Pacific white-sided and common dolphins.

We added lots of shearwaters to our list and had a really good look at three south polar skuas flying around the boat. The passengers were complaining that the birds were too close and they couldn’t get a good picture!

White chinned petrel!

Seabirders on the September 5-9 trip were thrilled to report a very unusual sighting of a southern ocean bird–the white chinned petrel. They are searching around the Channel Islands today and the bird flew past the boat. We should get photos when the birders return on Friday morning! All on board got a new life bird today, including all the esteemed leaders, Todd McGrath, Paul Guris, Terry Hunefeld, and Adam Searcy.
