Humpback Whale belly and sleepy Sea Lions!

December 26^th: Calm before the storm! 10+ Humpback Whales still around feeding! One juvenile breached for us at the end and showed off its nice belly! Been working on building up their blubber reserves all year. We also found a Steller Sea Lion hanging out with California Sea Lions on the 1-mile buoy (check out the size difference)! California Sea Lions max out at around 800lbs, Steller Sea Lions can get up to 2500lbs! Also, a Rhinoceros Auklet!
