This afternoon on the Cetacea, we searched along the northwest corner while traveling close to shore in an attempt to cover new ground.

First minke whale makes an appearance

We stopped briefly to get a quick look at a minke whale along the way but continued on towards the bank.

Cormorants in formation

While we unfortunately didn’t see any other whales, we saw some white-winged and surf scoters, cormorants, northern gannets, black-blacked and herring gulls and eiders.
