Humpback Whales feeding and stealth Gray Whale mom & calf

May 5^th: More surface skimming Humpback Whales feeding on krill out by the canyon. They were joined by hundreds of Brown Pelicans! We also saw California Sea Lions and Gray Whales right by the Santa Cruz Harbor. Last photo shows a stealthy mom & calf Gray Whale (mom is right below the surface as her baby surfaces behind her)!
