Minkes and HOT July weather

Hello everyone, what a great day to be on the water, MUCH cooler out there than it is on land the past few days!

Today we had 2 trips and we had great sightings of 2 different minke whales on each departure.  Here are photos of all 4 minke whales we saw today.

Slice



This minke whale quite small, no older than a few years 

We of course stopped with seals on both trips and I took lots of photos this afternoon that I wanted to share...we even saw a very young grey seal, most likely a pup of the year...I am in love.

2 female greys and a large male grey

We also stopped on Whitehorse Island to check out the nesting seabirds.  Nick, who maintains our bird blog has done a post...check it out HERE.

Thanks so much for checking in today,

Cheers,
Danielle
