This morning, we traveled to Constance Bank in search of humpback whales, the fifth largest whale in the world! Just south of Constance Bank, we encountered three humpback whales, including two that were travelling in a pair and being pestered by a mob of playful Steller sea lions. We were entertained by the antics of both the Steller sea lions and the humpbacks, after which we headed to Race Rocks. There we viewed several more sea lions, both of the California and Steller variety.
On our afternoon trip, we headed back to Constance Bank to find the humpback whales. Although they proved to be more elusive this afternoon, we did eventually find a lone humpback whale foraging in the nutrient rich waters among thousands of seabirds. After we watched the humpback whale, we travelled to Race Rocks and its resident wildlife. On our way back to the harbour, we stopped quickly for another look at the humpback whale, which was nice enough to give us a fluke shot!
Happy Halloween!
