Circumnavigation of Gedney Island- Thursday, April 9th
"Our guests were in for a special treat as Captain Carl had spotted a mature Bald Eagle feeding close to shore on Jetty Island. Deciding to take a closer look we ventured in and found out the Eagle was feeding on the carcass of a Harbor Seal!! Nearby we had the chance to visit with a pair of Osprey sitting on their nest! Then it was onto the whales! We found Patch #49 & #723 feeding at the south end of Gedney Island. After some great looks and getting a whiff of their breath we wrapped around the north end of Gedney and found to our delight another whale (#53)!! As he traveled gracefully through the water he rolled fully through a couple of times exposing his massive fluke! Also seen today were Western Grebes, California Sea Lions, Rhinoceros Auklets, swimming Harbor Seals, Cormorants, Red-necked Grebes & Pigeon Guillemots!" - Naturalist Kate Janes
