Cory's ShearwaterLots of whales were around today but most of them were racing around and taking long dives, making our job a bit difficult. We found 7 fin whales, and managed to get several close looks.
Fin whale dorsal finWe also found the lone humpback whale, Tigris. Tigris has been around for a while now, which I find interesting since this is the first year we have seen him here at all! Perhaps Jeffreys Ledge is his new favorite diner!
Tigris' tail- going down!The birding activity was excellent- all 4 species of shearwaters were seen, plus a few northern gannets and several rafts of Wilson's storm petrels, evidence that plenty of fish and plankton are still in the area!
Keep in touch!

Any sign of a blue whale?
Hi Willy!
No blue whales yet, but there were a couple of right whales reported this week!
Holy cow - right whales? Holy cow. That's awesome! I hope they stay safe.
I wish I was there on the boat.
