Bird Watching Cruise Report – May 18, 2013

The early morning weather seemed a little ominous, but luck was on our side and the rain stopped shortly before our departure, and (mostly) stayed away for the duration of the cruise.  Birds were plentiful as usual, with all the “core” breeding and resident species of the Salish Sea observed in plentiful numbers.  Pigeon Guillemots… Continue reading Bird Watching Cruise Report – May 18, 2013

It’s pretty rare to see Humpbacks this… Continue reading San Juan Cruises / Whales & Wildlife Report – 8/23

We happened to catch them having a bit of lunch, a real Animal Planet style experience… Continue reading San Juan Cruises / Whales & Wildlife Report – 8/22
