From: ppetrich39 at hotmail.comPosted in Japan, TaijiKilling in "The Cove" Goes On!!MorningsPosted on January 28, 2011 by Sheri| 4 CommentsI have been on the ground in Taiji now for a week and have witness more death than I ever care to admit. Everyday is worse than the day before and it just continues day in and day out.
The mornings here are the worst. I wake up before the sun and my hands and heart tremble with the thought of what lies ahead. We head of early and watch and wait trying to entertain ourselves with happy thoughts until the sight of the banger boats appear. Then its too the camera?s and silence. Today, again, I watch in horror as 10 banger boats drove a pod of beautiful Risso dolphins straight into the killing cove. No it does no get easier. The adrenaline kicks in and I focus on the job at hand. Document, document, document, in hopes that a tarp my slip, a dolphin may escape, anything. The sounds are the worst. The cries, the banging and then the silence. I film these beautiful dolphins just to keep their memories alive in hopes that someday this will come to an end. If there is a hell then I hope these men who do this have to spend an eternity with the souls of the dolphins that they have killed, tortured and destroyed. Today, again, the cove ran red with blood. Please call the Japanese embassy, write a letter, get involved, do what you can to let the world know that this is still going on. Like Ric O?barry said in the movie ?The Cove?, ?if we can?t stop this then there really is no hope?

Ahoy Hikers to Potato, I have urged Carolyn McCleskey to send you all a photo she set her camera to take of our hike group that went to Potato Harbor last Thursday. Do it Carolyn! Not for our group's sake, but for all CINC hikers. The Potato Harbor post , with the sign on it, is at a perfect level to take a delayed time photo of you solo, or of all out their enjoying the solitude!   PP

CINCers, I have a sudden opportunity to go to the Baja lagoons to view gray whales up close and personal on board Lindblad National Geogrphic  excursions starting this Saturday. I had Feb. 8 at SCI VC and Feb. 12 Vta. IPCO WW. I have removed myself from the Volunteer Spot, so these are now open for some lucky volunteers to snatch up!

I also need a replacement for overnight volunteers trained on AI for this weekend, Feb. 5 and 6. I am so excited.

Sincerely,

Hey everybody! 
Catherine and I just got the most unbelievable opportunity to sail with 
LEX/Nat Geo in Mexico (La Paz, Sea of Cortez, and gray whale lagoons). 
So I hope to see my first sperm whale in the flesh and maybe even say hi to or pat one of our friendly 
grays or their offspring! 
That's the good news for us. But we have to leave on Saturday Feb 5th!
So that means that my previously occupied spot on the IPCO Whale Watch trip on Wednesday Feb 9th is available.
Please sign up on Volunteer Spot. You know the drill, "first come, first served". 


Enjoy the whales and the beautiful weather here, hopefully we'll have some close encounter stories to tell when we get back!


Best regards ...

Hi CINC colleagues,
I have just come down with a fierce bronchial infection and will not be able to volunteer with an IPCO whale watch out of Ventura tomorrow February 5 for both the 9:30 to 1:00 and 1:30 to 5:00 shifts.  I am terribly sorry about the last minute notice but I really need to rest my body and beat this illness.  Please let me know if you would be so kind to help me cover these times.  Thank you, Rachel Gomez

It was a great day, big swell going out, nobody got sea sick and everyone was in awe of all the dolphins.
We encountered 2 gray whales that were north bound( first ones seen by Captain Anthony)   Then saw about 1000 common dolphin. Round Anacapa Island an Saw hundreds of sea lions thermo regulating and more on shore.  Also saw the 2 elephant seals and one pup.  On the way home we encounter another pod of about 700 common dolphins.
 
 
2 bottlenose dolphins
4 grays
5000 common dolphins
 
Pm trip
About 25 people mostly local some europeans  2 bottle nose dolphins as soon as we exited the harbor,  One lone gray whale that was very friendly seemed to swim at the surface most of the time.   Cruised out to east end of Santa Cruz inland and came upon 3 gray whales.  All the whales on this trip were south bound.  Ended the trip by cruising Anacapa from east to west.  All the passengers were impressed with the shear cliffs.  On the way back we came across a mega pod of 5000 common dolphins.  It was totally awesome dude.  Everyone  was impressed.  I forgot on our first trip Captain Anthony stop in a pod of dolphins to pick up a bunch of trash and some balloons, and gave a good talk on if you choose balloons to pop them instead of letting them go.   Linda Hitt was a great help as I am not the best with local sites in Ventura.   Debbie Shelley

Ahoy Volunteers, Yesterday Captain Matt took the Condor out with 22 passengers: a diverse group from locals to tourist from the UK; Australia; Poland; and our Midwest. Seas were relatively calm, and visibility about 20 miles on a nice day. Gary Delanoeye joined me as regular interpreters, and Don Gillies did the Photo ID. We were able to saturate our captive small group with info, on top of the expert narrative given over the mike by both Matt and Dave. Dennis and new deckhand Laurie filled out the crew. Starting about half way out to The Gap between SCI and SRI we encountered two separate small pods of bow riding Dall's Porpoise (about 5 each). In the NW sector of the Gap, we sighted 3 southerly migrating Grays who dove continuously, displaying their flukes every time. Capt Matt surmised that two males were courting a female. Later, as we approached Painted Cave, we sighted one more less than a mile off shore SCI.  On the way home we came across another 2 Dall's. Closer to Santa barbara we were entertained by a small group of Common Dolphine. As we sighted many, many sea lions far out from shore, we had plenty opportunity to explain the difference between sea lions and seals, as well as between dolphin and porpoise. Everyone aboard seamed very happy with the outing, except our youngest passenger, a 5 year old Polish child. His Mom had translated my promise to him that we would see more sea lions, or seals ( he was to determine which) on the buoy as we approached the harbor. But their were non there!   One interesting sighting in the Gap, was a flock of hundreds of Cormorants floating lazily on the calm sea surface with no interest in feeding or flying what-so-ever. Myself, Gary, and Don all had never seen such a display of contented birds on any of our sea travels.     Paul

AM 
3 grays
1000+ common dolphins

PM 
2 grays
1000 + common dolphins
150 off shore bottlenose dolphins

Beautiful day, no fog, no wind, no swell, sunshine...

First trip found 3 grays just west of Scorpion, heading south.  2 of them 
consistently fluked, and 1 fluked occasionally.  Short times on the surface, but 
the flukes were cool.
1000+ common dolphins found on the way, spread out, but many played with the 
boat.

Afternoon trip found 2 grays within 2 miles from shore, in about 80 feet of 
water.  They appeared to be unsure which direction to go, as they seemed to keep 
popping up in different areas.   They finally settled down, and appeared to be 
heading south. Capt Anthony suggested they may be young adults on their first 
trip southbound, and not really sure of the terrain.  Anthony then found a large 
group of commons again pretty far east of Anacapa.    This pod had many baby's 
and juveniles, which the first pod didn't seem to have. These were very playful, 
very close to the boats, and more of them surfed the wake than I had seen in a 
long time.

Headed toward Anacapa, and found a group of 5-10 offshore bottlenose hanging 
around.  Cruised the back side of Anacapa and found a larger group of 
bottlenose, 100+.  A group of these began chasing the boat, and treated us to 
some spectacular high breaches and jumps.  I hadn't observed this kind of 
behavior before, in this species.  The passengers were whooping it up, as was 
I.  


2 full boats of people from Asia, Israel, Canada, and many states.  Ohio, Texas, 
North Dakota.  They were basking in our lovely weather.

I was the lone naturalist on both trips, had a great time, but went up and down 
the steps on the boat many many times, so my legs got a good workout.  I hadn't 
been out on the water since October, due to weather, health,  family and work 
concerns, so it was wonderful to have such a great day!


Captain Anthony, Zac and Dee Dee did their excellent job of taking care of the 
crew and giving lots of information to the passengers.

I hadn't been out on the water since October, due to weather, health, family and 
work concerns, so it was wonderful to have such a great day!

Hi Bart!

I don't think the CX is running Monday 2/7 or Tuesday 2/8 this week.  You
can check Sea Landing if you want.  However, we cut over to coastal trips to
view northbound Gray Whales next Sunday, and that means 3 trips a day, 2.5
hours each, and we don't have any days off for maintenance as we do now.
The calendar is online.

good luck with your leg muscles....
Bob

4 Grays
1000+ Common dolphins

A brisk off shore wind delayed Island Packers' decision as to whether to venture 
out but finally at 11:45 all systems were go.  The stalwart group who blew into 
the office for sign up were rewarded to a very pleasant trip.  The wind's 
direction caused no problem for Capt. Anthony who adroitly navigated the 
Islander.  It subsided enough to keep all but an unfortunate few from "mal de 
mer" who were ably and kindly assisted by Paige and Steve.  

A lively pod of commons, approximately 40% calves, meet us close to Santa Cruz 
followed by a single gray who tricked us by heading north. We then followed 
three grays heading south.  One veered off  behind Anacapa while the other two 
delighted us with several flukes staying on the north side of the island .

Great fun to be out and always a pleasure to join Tom Flor.

Many thanks to all at Island Packers,

Deb Clark

I'm not able to make my PID CX spot TODAY.  I don't know if it's too late to get in touch with Clare or Shauna to have her make a change, but if someone wants to try, that would be great.  I've been sick with the flu and although I've been feeling better for a few days, today I'm worse again.

I do know there are only 10 people on the CX today, they are hoping for some walk-ons, and there are two naturalists on the boat, so perhaps it will be fine.
Thanks,

Hi Naturalists,

A.M. Trip:

37 passengers from Germany (Munich), Dallas Texas, Ventura, Oxnard and  
other
No whales
Feeding frenzy; Common dolphins, sea gulls, cormorants, sea lions and  
pelicans

It was a weather perfect day;  great visibility, calm seas, pleasant  
warm winds, and interested passengers with lots of questions. Captain  
Jason, Joel, Laurie, and Maria did their part in the best of  
disposition under such favorable conditions. Captain took us to Arch  
Rock, and then to the  back of Anacapa Is. The trip was uneventful  
until we were headed back to the harbor. That is when we came upon the  
feeding frenzy. The pelicans were most spectacular doing their  
powerful dives 20 feet from the boat. They dove one after another for  
about 10 minutes. Coming up to the surface to swallow fish they had  
caught. Both passengers and crew were mesmerized. The Commons (~ 200)  
were very active. As they would race the boat, they would 'flap' on  
their side. They were the favorite of many people I talked to. All  
were satisfied when we got back to the harbor.

P.M. Trip:
2 Gray whales
~ 250 - 300 Common dolphins

Captain Jason headed towards the west of Anacapa. Many of the  
passengers were European. I talked with a family from Estonia. There  
was a couple from Arkansas and another from Michigan. The 47  
passengers were treated to Common dolphins just 30 minutes out of the  
harbor. We caught up with this much larger and traveling pod of  
Commons. They stayed with us for about 20 minutes as passengers took  
pictures and video.
The 2 Grays we encountered in this area were southbound and traveling  
together. We got a good look at them. They dove several times and we  
were treated to at least 4 flukes. Enjoying the perfect weather and  
seeing the whales was the highlight of the afternoon trip.

Excerpt from June, 2010 Pomona College Magazine feature on Prof. Jennifer Perry, associate professor and chair of anthropology department, who has devoted more than a decade to finding and exploring ancient settlements on the Channel Islands:
?
Working on the eastern end of Santa Cruz Island, Perry has been exploring ?how the terrestrial resources of the island were being used and more generally why people were living at interior sites,? says Michael Glassow, professor emeritus from UC Santa Barbara. Perry discovered archeological sites dating back 8,000 years?far earlier than others had anticipated, and her work is helping to change the way archeologists view how the Chumash lived. More than simple seafarers, they formed a complex society that became, in effect, the hub of a pre- Columbian regional economy.? ?She is the first one to clearly recognize this temporal pattern, and I?m beginning to see the same pattern where I work in the western sector of the island,? says Glassow, who himself is an expert on island cultures and served as Perry?s dissertation advisor.

http://www.vcstar.com/news/2011/feb/12/annual-dredging-preserves-ventura-harbor-channel/
?
Annual dredging of material buildup in the Ventura Harbor channel is under way to ensure the waterway remains navigable, particularly for squid boats and other large commercial operations.? Fewer federal funds mean less material will be removed this year, but harbor officials say the channel will remain at an adequate depth. Ventura Harbor is the largest squid port on the West Coast, and a fully loaded squid boat returning to the docks can require clearance up to 16 feet deep. Some boats can carry up to 80 tons of squid.Channel Islands Harbor in Oxnard was dredged in December and January. The work at Ventura Harbor is done annually, while Channel Islands is dredged every other year, primarily because it has a larger sand trap that can absorb more material without causing problems in the channel entrance? Parsons with the largest hydrologic dredge on the West Coast finishes next Friday.

Hi folks,

AM

500 Common Dolphin
7 Grays

PM 

1000 Common Dolphin
4 Grays

2 nice, long distance view.

The day continued the fantastic weather and sea conditions, we have been having, with hardly any swell, almost glassy surface.

In the morning, we came on the Dds a little more than mid way to the Gap of AI and SCI. Playful with several full breaches and some jumping to the delight of the folks and kids on board. Babies were seen by many.  Approaching the Gap, spouts were seen toward AI and sure enough, we had two, three, no five running together south. Steady as they went, with many nice blows and good flukes for the photo buffs of all stripes. Any kind of device that had a camera on board was out and shooting away. Followed them for some time then broke off to search for others. Well into the gap, two more south bounders heading east (heh, heh). Again, nice blows and consistent flukes on a very clear day.  Folks, 82, from many local areas, Ventura, Camarillo, Thousand Oaks, Santa Clarita joined some from Minnesota, Massachusetts, Japan and India to take in this just spectacular day on the Channel.

In the afternoon, we were delayed coming out of the harbor by the Dredge support vessels maneuvering the Dredge in place, with the Harbor Patrol blocking traffic for about 10 minutes or more. Finally out of the harbor into the same day as the AM, flat seas, no wind, nor swell, we were off. In a similar area as in the AM we came on a larger pod of Common Dolphins, pretty much on a mission east, but several still pealed off to come over to play the boats pressure wave and wake. Yep, the photo frenzy was on as well, as was the squeals of the kids and the "bigger" kids. Toward the Gap up came two Grays, but at a distance and long down times. Tracked them for a bit, then on to more. Off and well into the Out Back of AI and about to make the turn back, two more Grays surface for us, and again at a distance, rather shy and not too interested in the boat, today. We figured being they are late to the party in Baja, they were determined to get there, ... at least for the final hurrah. 

Again, Catalina and Santa Barbara Islands were visible from the AI Out Back. That is some distance to be seen.  Then as we turned toward home, we had the South side of AI, the Santa Ynez Mountains and Figueroa Mountain all stacked nicely and distinctly one on top of another, with an ocean foreground. Very cool what a very clear day can lay out before us. 

We had another good group of folks, nearing a full boat, many locals as from the AM, two families from England, one family from New Zealand, and Indian (India) family from Redondo Beach and may kids all having just the best of times.

Captain Anthony, Crew of Steve and Zac, did their usual great job of finding our little ocean critters, with fine narration, keeping the galley running at full speed with no one on either run getting acquainted with the green faced whoas. (of course, did we mention, flat calm seas? They may have contributed, just a bit)

Ken Tatro,
	lone Naturalist on these two runs, still a whole bunch of fun, never getting old.

Weather permitting you will have the good fortune to lead a hike through that strange and glorious forrest of now blooming giant coreopsis sunflower trees on that great green rock punctuated by alighting grey and white gulls amidst the azure sea teeming with biomass, some on their Alaska - Baja peregrinations.

Thank you.

Thanks Loads Kathyrn! Now is the time to express by word and by deed, support for countries like Chile, and their Latin neighbors, who actively move against whaling; and by word and deed, to applaud Japan's people for turning against the consumption of whale meat! Meanwhile, the killing of dolphins in The Cove goes on, as does the local conspiracy to hide that reality.    Paul

This article has this quote.  Wonder if the rolling gray sighted in the channel 
was doing this in reaction to the Risso's?

"On another occasion, we saw a gray whale juvenile that was harassed by  killer 
whales roll repeatedly (sideways) as it moved rapidly towards  shore, which 
prevented the killer whales from maintaining a grip on its  fins and flukes and 
allowed it to escape," they wrote."

The journal article I cited in the latest edition of the Condor Express
newsletter mentions this exact response to *orca*'s as one of several
hypotheses regarding the Risso-Gray interactions we've been seeing and
photographing over the past month and a half...lots of Gray's rolling
around.  If you are not on the recipient list for the newsletter, you can
either let me know to add you, OR, better yet, you can see the newsletter

Subject: [CINC] New Sighting Log Forms...
Message-ID: <COL122-DS214AEE74007724025AEE5EBED40@phx.gbl>

Hi Everyone,

For those of you at the meeting last night, you know about the new sighting logs. For those who weren?t, please read on.

The sighting log has been updated with regard to how we record distances. In the past, we were asked to estimate the distance and record that number for each sighting. To simplify things, going forward, all distances will be be recorded in one of three categories:

A = <25 yards (25 yards is the length of the boat)
B = 25 to 250 yards
C = >250 yards

So instead of recording the actual distance, you will now record either A, B or C in the distance field. You can start using this method right away, even if the new forms aren?t on your boat just yet.

To help you estimate those distances, 25 yards is approximately the length of Condor Express and all three Island Packer boards. So a quick glance at the boat will help you determine A vs. B. 250 yards is the distance from the Visitor Center auditorium to the land directly across the harbor. Whenever you are at the VC (which should be 8+ times per year at least), do a quick distance check.

The new forms have these codes in the lower right corner so you don?t have to remember them. If you want to download your own copies, you can find them at:

Subject: [CINC] New T.C. Boyle novel about Channel Islands
Message-ID: <4D5EED8A.2090207@cox.net>

I just saw a book review in the New York Times (Feb 18, 2011) about T.C. 
Boyle's new novel, "When the Killing's Done." We are all well-versed in 
the backdrop of the novel, which is the CINP actions taken in recent 
years to preserve native species on the islands. Boyle explores the 
controversy over those actions.

 From the NY Times: ?When the Killing?s Done? is a forthright 
examination of that desire, in which the remodelers of earthly creation 
have to measure the worth of a healthy ecosystem against the lives of 
damaging invaders. The dilemma is so rarely discussed that animal lovers 
and environmentalists are routinely lumped into the same political camp. 
One of the novel?s many merits is its well-informed framing of the moral 
difference between them.

 From reading two of Boyle's novels, "Riven Rock," based in Montecito, 
and "Tortilla Curtain," which takes place in the Topanga Canyon, I 
anticipate the book will have some bizarre characters and events but, in 
the end, I hope, will do a great service in spreading awareness of the 
Channel Islands and what the park service has accomplished. The 
publication date is February 22nd.

AM
a handful common dolphins
49 high school students with their church group from Lancaster were, for the 
most part, unfazed by the rain
and dearth of cetaceans.  The good humored students delighted in a small pod of 
commons on the way back into the harbor.

PM
a half dozen bottlenose
possibly the same handful of commons ??

10 hearty souls  from Holland and Santa Barbara ventured out of the harbor at 1 
PM in the pouring rain.  Despite my silent objections I joined them.  50 minutes 
out of the harbor, thunder and lightening forced our diligent captain, Chris, to 
return to port ably assisted by a dripping wet but still cheerful first mate, 
Clare.

I gratefully brought full rain gear including rubber boots which are drying by 
the heater at this very moment.  An eventful beginning for our only sailing 
whale watching vessel.

FYI
TC Boyle has been out with Island Packers numerous times as a guest at the
Ranch. Island Packers will be carrying the book.
Please note that the Park Service, TNC, and Marla Daly from Santa Cruz
island Foundation have all gave the book their blessing. For those of you
that have been around for a while, rat irradication, pig irradication and
all the other "issues" we dealt with will most likely come around again.
I would suggest reading up on past procedures regarding these issues.

Subject: [CINC] New T.C. Boyle novel about Channel Islands

I just saw a book review in the New York Times (Feb 18, 2011) about T.C. 
Boyle's new novel, "When the Killing's Done." We are all well-versed in 
the backdrop of the novel, which is the CINP actions taken in recent 
years to preserve native species on the islands. Boyle explores the 
controversy over those actions.

 From the NY Times: "When the Killing's Done" is a forthright 
examination of that desire, in which the remodelers of earthly creation 
have to measure the worth of a healthy ecosystem against the lives of 
damaging invaders. The dilemma is so rarely discussed that animal lovers 
and environmentalists are routinely lumped into the same political camp. 
One of the novel's many merits is its well-informed framing of the moral 
difference between them.

 From reading two of Boyle's novels, "Riven Rock," based in Montecito, 
and "Tortilla Curtain," which takes place in the Topanga Canyon, I 
anticipate the book will have some bizarre characters and events but, in 
the end, I hope, will do a great service in spreading awareness of the 
Channel Islands and what the park service has accomplished. The 
publication date is February 22nd.

Both trips on the IPCO whale watching trip produced three northbound gray whales.  They were likely the same whales on both trips.  Rain found us on the afternoon trip.

Only the noon trip went out. Capt. Dave, with an assist from Peter at Gray Whales Count, found one northbound gray whale near Platform Holly; we stayed with it for a while, getting good looks.  Our mid-channel search for common dolphins was unsuccessful, but it was a glorious day on the water, with gorgeous views of snow-capped mountains. Debbie Shelley and I shared naturalist duties.

Changing Pace to Non-Fiction, "Grayson", by Lynne Cox, is better than fiction, and fits right in with our Gray Whale season at hand! Lynne is a world record holder at feats unbelievable in marathon swimming. She has also been honored with a lifetime achievement award from UCSB and has been names a LA Times Woman of the Year. "Grayson", published in 2008, is her story of an encounter with a baby Gray Whale while, as a teenager, she was finishing a long training session in early morning hours off the Southern California coast. The baby whale seemed lost and had been following her, since it was dark.. Lynne was advised by a friend on the pier,  that if she swam back to the pier, the calf would follow her to shore and possibly die.  The rest is better than fiction!  Paul

Hello Naturalists,We had packed trips with Mike, Zac and Steve on Sunday.?
No gray whales but lots of scattered medium groups of Common Dolphins on the first trip totaling about 1000 dolphins.?
Good sports on the 2nd trip where a full boat of over one hundred passengers had beautiful views of the snow capped mountains and clear skies, good looks at lots of brown pelicans, western gulls and sea lions as we cruised around part of Anacapa, and covered lots of ocean looking for north or south bound gray whales.?
Have a great week,
Laura Shelton

Subject: [CINC] Fox Fest at Scorpion!
Message-ID: <7AB6F9DD-B55C-46FC-BB5B-B66807A9D7D7@aol.com>

Fellow naturalists:

IPCO transportation Feb 22 aboard Island Adventure on absolutely flat seas with approx 55 passengers, mostly escapees from cold weather snowy places

Great kayaking, hiking and just plain old relaxing at ESCI. 

18 on interpretative hike to Cavern Point treated to a pair of cavorting foxes at the picnic tables pre-hike! Guess what they were looking for? It was tuff to tear the hikers away from the fox display.

Better yet, foxes were appearing from seemingly every direction along the trail. I stopped counting after 24 sightings. 

So if you're a fox lover or maybe haven't seen one 'in the wild' get to Scorpion soon!

I'll speculate that this period before they 'den up' is full of territorial squabbles, extra feeding by the females to bulk up for pup bearing and taking advantage of all the available fresh water and resulting good stuff to eat.

PS - I have a picture of a fox seated literally at the feet of a visitor at a picnic table that is vaguely reminiscent of a domesticated canine or house cat! If you're interested I can compress it and forward that photo separately upon request. They are sooooo darn cute!

AM trip
common dolphins, birds, wonderful feeding frenzy of dolphins, Ca sea lions, pelicans and numerous other birds near the LA county line
No whales
Visitors all local.  Calm seas but still too much for a few passengers

PM trip
1 gray whale north/westerly bound near east Anacapa
Common dolphins and Dalls porpoises
Mostly local visitors with some from out of state and one group of 6 from the Netherlands
Sea continued to be calm but again was too much for a few.

Great sunny but cold day out there with Jason, Joel and Zac.

I was going to leave this blank.

 

But Cpt. Mat, Dave, Matt, bird man (sorry we didn't get names), Valerie and
Brian deserve a high five. Hard to face the guests with nothing except a
very quiet channel. Should I mention the two sea lions?  Guest were happy to
be out of the snow and lovely chats from overseas and US passengers.

SB Birders,

I birded today on the Condor Express. The birds of note, at least to me are.

2 Long-tailed Ducks, still chilling in the harbour.
2. Northern Fulmars
7. Pomarine Jaegers
1. Parasitic Jaeger
1. Jaeger sp.
14 Common Murres
1. Xantus's Murrelet
2. Ancient Murrelets
58 Cassin's Auklets
49 Rhinoceros Auklets

The Condor Express is now on Gray Whale season, this means they are running 3 near shore trips a day for the next 10 weeks. This is the beginning of the Gray Whale season and should be in full swing (migration) in a couple weeks. If you are interested, you can call and see what the conditions are and if they have a trip going out.
The phone number is 805 882 0088.

Good birding,

Greetings CINC Volunteers:

The gray whale watching season is in full swing and we hope you are all 
able to get out on the water this month. We still have quite a few 
openings on the March whale watch schedule so be sure to visit 
VolunteerSpot to sign up for more trips. And please keep an eye on the 
outreach calendar, we are still looking for help with the March 20th 
Celebration of Whales at Channel Islands Harbor.

As a follow-up to Joel's email below regarding the new sighting log 
forms, please read this important message:
We are having some issues with the distance values we added to the new 
sightings log forms. We ask that you *_do not enter a value at this time 
until further notice_*. We are working on a solution that will support 
the end product use of the sightings data for resource protection (e.g., 
mapping endangered whales in proximity to the shipping lanes).

Thank you for your cooperation and stay tuned for further updates 
regarding this matter!

3-gray whales
1000 common dolphin
30 bottlenose
 
Am trip about 30 passengers, smooth waters rain storms surrounding us.  About half to Anacapa we got to enjoy  a large pod of dolphin. Captain Dave and crew took time out to take another balloon out of the water, said they actually retrieved over 300 balloons last year.  Right in front of oil platform Gail we spotted 3 gray whales north bound.  On the way back we cruised along the coast and found some bottlenose right by Ventura fair grounds.  Seem they were in a rest mode according to Captain Dave.  I had a question about if they gathered seagull eggs on Anacpa to sell.  I really did not get enough info but the passenger that inquired said he read about it in our paper.  Well after looking in the paper and not finding it I asked the passenger and he found it for me.  They actually were collected in 1850 and the eggs were sold in San Francisco.  It got me to thinking what seagull eggs would taste like and they do actually serve them in England.  Here Is the web site if you are interested
