Local Whale Lovers,
Today we ran an 8-hour expedition with the American Cetacean Society and we were treated to mild summer weather and mostly glassy seas.. We were again on the "mother lode" and here is what we watched closely today:
(Remember, these numbers are from a longer than normal, all day trip)
8 Blue Whales
25 Humpback Whales
900 Short Beaked Common Dolphins
2100 Long Beaked Common Dolphins
8 Bottlenose Dolphins
20 Risso's Dolphins
25 Ocean Sunfish juveniles (Mola mola)

Several Humpbacks mugged the boat, and almost all of them were in groups ranging from 2 to 12. It was massive on the grounds today.
Pelagic birds recorded:
Fulmars
Cassin's Auklet
Sabines Gulls
Pomarine Jaeger
Black Storm Petrels
Ashy Storm Petrels
Semipalmated plover
Sooty Shearwaters
Pink Footed Shearwaters
Common Murres
Red Phalaropes
Red-necked Phalaropes
We have had quite a few days with dense populations of whales on the shelf break. Who knows what the future may bring. Suggestion: sign up now and get in on all the action while it lasts.
