Grateful for another day with excellent visibility, no wind, calm ocean, excellent distinction between sky, ocean, and blows.
At the Point Arena Lighthouse peninsula we observed:
* 28 southbound gray whales – 1 loose group of four, 1 group of three, 6 groups of two, and 9 singles – one whale breached three times, another half breached once and full breached twice, most fluked, and backs and heads were also visible
* two foragers were present and swam slightly north and slightly south for nearly two hours taking long dives
* GRAY WHALES SEEN TO DATE = 253 southbound
* 70 harbor seals
* 1 great blue heron
* 1 red-tailed hawk
* 2 American kestrels
