August 18, 2022 – We saw some cool wildlife including bald eagles, harbor seals, Steller sea lions, great blue herons, cormorants, various diving birds, a minke whale and the best part of all – a lunge feeding humpback whale! We never figured out the ID of the whale. We couldn’t find it in our catalogue so we reached out to a Facebook group to see if others with a larger catalogue can figure out who it is but didn’t get any response.
