Humpback Whale and Sea Lions and Seabirds!

December 28th, 2022: Despite the large swell we still managed to get out and find a Humpback Whale, Steller Sea Lion and California Sea Lions! Last photo shows the whale doing a massive chin-slap out on the horizon; that’s how it got our attention. We also saw a Belted Kingfisher in the Santa Cruz Harbor! The bird on the water is a Common Murre!
