Wintertime Humpback Whales, Bottlenose Dolphins, Sea Lions, Sea Otters

Friday, December 10, 2021

Started and ended the trip with playful Bottlenose Dolphins right outside the harbor. Then we were able to find over 8 Humpbacks including two mom/calf pairs that we know (“Direwolf” and her calf; Aurora and her calf “Fluke Skywalker”). We also had huge rafts of California Sea Lions with the whales and dolphins; and a Southern Sea Otter.
