This month of February signaled the start of the baleen whale season of 2022! Despite multiple gray days, we were still able to head out to sea a handful of times. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Surprisingly, we were awarded with the first yearly sightings of 3 different species – Risso’s dolphins, humpback whales, and sei whales! One of our more elusive residents, the Risso’s dolphins, opened up this month with a spectacular display of swimming prowess around a local fishing boat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Furthermore, we were able to spot all of our remaining resident species, including the world\u2019s largest predator – the sperm whale, the classic bottlenose dolphins, and the colorful and acrobatic common dolphins. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the highlight of this month was, most definitely, the arrival of our first baleen whales. Two back-to-back days of humpback whale sightings, alongside a beautiful display of speed by a large pair of sei whales gave for a great monthly finale. The season of giants has started! In addition, we have also started to see our beloved cory\u2019s shearwaters! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

February\u2019s indicators leave great expectations for the promising month of March!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"This month of February signaled the start of the baleen whale season of 2022!
