A trip to Cuyler Harbor, San Miguel Island and blue whales too

Saturday, August 25, 2012

Daily Whale and Dolphin Report:


Here are the species we watched closely today:

2 Blue Whales

1100 Common Dolphins

10 Dall's Porpose

20+ Northern Elephant Seals (on the beach)

Hundreds of California sea lions (on the beach)

NOTES:
A wonderful adventure to the far west Channel and San Miguel Island today, including a visit to beautiful Cuyler Harbor.  Near Cuyler, we spotted dozens of huge northern sea elephants hauled out on the beach, along with hundreds of California sea lions.  What a sight.  Sea conditions were great for such a trip.  Just outside Cuyler and San Miguel we watched two giant blue whales.  The first blue whale was being escorted by a cadre of Dall's porpoise.  This was indeed a rare treat.
