Holiday Whales

Monday, December 21, 2020

Over the weekend whale watching trips spent some time with humpback whales in Monterey Bay. There are a handful of late-season humpbacks in the Bay this December. Friday, we spotted four whales and spent time viewing two whales over the north edge of the Monterey Canyon. Mild weather made for nice days out all weekend. Also spotted sea lions, harbor porpoises, harbor seals and otters. Birds of the season: common murres, northern fulmars, rhinoceros auklets. Clear skies and fun groups of whale watchers. We’ll be on the lookout for migrating gray whales in the coming weeks – Welcome aboard!
