Sooty Shearwaters

Risso Dolphins

Bottle-Nosed Dolphins

2 Humpback Whales

Launching from Moss Landing, we went whale watching today. We saw at least 6 Humpback whales, plus Bottle-Nose and Risso’s dolphins on the ride. In the harbor, we saw sea lions, harbor seals and sea otters. New species for my bird list were Sooty Shearwaters. Also saw cormorants, terns, Brown pelicans, a Western grebe, and Great Blue herons and egrets. Great day, but tiring, even though we were passengers. Getting our sea legs takes work.
