Howdy birders,
Great first day on the ocean: the wind backed off to nothing, and the birding was great. It started with the sighting of 2 magnificent frigatebirds in the San Diego Bay, and then several black-vented shearwaters. We also saw a pair of brown boobies, and a life bird for many this afternoon was a Cassin’s auklet. In the marine mammal department, we saw bottlenose dolphin, fin whales, and a few blue whales, one fluking!
Dinner was fantastic, second only to a great day of wildlife sightings!
More tomorrow,
Capt Aaron and the Searcher crew
