Hello whalewatchers,
What a phenomenal morning! We spent time with five different cetaceans in just 3.5 hours–common, bottlenose and Rissos dolphins, along with humpback and blue whales. The highlight was definitely the two blue whales, as both of them were fluking.
We also encountered a tremendous amount of seabirds: shearwaters, gulls, terns, and albatrosses.
We are headed to the Coronado Islands to finish the trip with a look at some pinnipeds and nesting brown boobies.
I am truly amazed at the amount of marine life we have observed in the past 2.5 days. We found 11 total species of cetaceans: six species of dolphin and five species of baleen whales.
The weather has been great which helped out a lot.
Looking forward to offering this trip again next spring. Stay tuned for our 2011 schedule,
