WEDNESDAY, JUNE 11th, 2025
Today was quite windy, 16 mph with gusts up to 29 mph from the north northwest. This created many whitecaps on the ocean making it very challenging to see whale blows.
At the Point Arena Lighthouse peninsula, we observed:
💠 1 blow – unable to identify the type of whale
💠 83 harbor seals
💠 1 great blue heron
💠 1 osprey
💠 5 brown pelicans flying south
