The ocean was as calm as a lake today and visibility was excellent.
At the Point Arena Lighthouse peninsula, we observed:
🔺 8 humpbacks
🔺27 harbor seals – at high tide
🔺 300-350 brown pelicans flying north; others resting in the ocean
🔺 4 flocks of approximately. 50-60 cormorants flying north
🔺 1 osprey
🔺 1 American kestrel
AT SAUNDERS REEF, WE OBSERVED:
🔺 1 humpback
🔺8 sea lions swimming south
🔺13 brown pelicans
🔶 Shari Goforth observed one very energetic humpback just north of Gualala Point. This whale breached 7 times, chin slapped, tail thrashed twice, then did five more breaches!
Shari sent this picture of the humpback to us and we appreciate her allowing us to share it with you in this website.
