Thank Goodness for some visibility

Hello everyone, well, after 2 very frustrating days in the fog we had a little break today.  The inshore area cleared up nicely for our 10am and 2pm departures and we spent time with a finback whale and a minke whale on both trips.  We even saw some lunge feeding from the finback in the morning.

The bald eagles on Whitehorse have been incredible, this young one was enjoying his "lunch".  We continue to see many seabirds, even inshore, today we had puffins, razorbills, murres and 3 species of shearwaters.

Puffins

This common loon was in Head Harbour Passage


Another fantastic sight this morning were the porpoise!  They were so active in Head Harbour passage, there must have been at least 40-50.




Thanks for checking in today!

Cheers,
Danielle

He was rather relaxed
