Greetings,

AM Trip
Ers, Tts, Pvs, Zcs

PM Trip
Ditto as above (but maybe not Tts)

What a lovely day with Class of 2011 CINCer Michael Berg, who braved the waves for his first shadow trips!  There were 30+ passengers on each voyage visiting from China, Germany, London,  Holland, Texas, Maryland, Mississippi, Colorado, and California.  All got to see whales and other wildlife.  There were birds seen as usual, including a glimpse of a P. loon and Brant flock flying by in the afternoon.

Kudos to stellar Capt. Chris, and crew member Olivia.

The first Island trip of the season was perfect, except for the lack of a couple more
Naturalists.? I was scheduled for PID, but it was pretty easy to do both.? 30 little kids from
Woodland Hills and parents plus about 20 more mostly local tourists had a fantastic trip.
The Channel looked like a calm lake, not a cloud in the sky and Humpback whales 
in pairs. First a cow/calf pair, just traveling, then another pair, then 4 together, all showing
their flukes right on cue.? Forty Risso's, very friendly, then about 1000 Commons gave all
a thrill.? Moving closer to SCI we found 8 more Humpbacks, with more in the distance, all showing flukes, and a big breach.? An absolutely glorious day in the Channel, and I took most of my pics from the lower deck while talking to the folks. Capt. Mat? went to Painted
Cave before heading for port with Bob Perry, Matt and Brooke taking care of all.
This really made up for all the yucky weather we have had for two weeks !? Carolyn

2 Gray Whales (Cow & Calf)
8 Bottlenose Dolphins
12 Humpbacks

With so many Humpbacks, you'd think I'd have a ton of fabulous fluke shots,
but the food was so close to the surface, there was no need for them to
waste energy on "deep dive" fluking.  Also, there wasn't enough time
to explore all the spouts in the distance.

28+ people from Switzerland, Germany, France, Pennsylvania, Phoenix and
Sacramento were grinning from ear to ear, a tribute to the work of Captain
Mat, Dennis and Matt.  Trainee Vic Cox was learning the ropes, under the
caring supervision of Debra Herring.

Enjoying Life,

Hi All,

I noticed today that the Mark Carwardine Whales Dolphins and Porpoises book has red chewing gum (?) stuck inside of the beginning pages! 

 
There are large (poster size) laminated visuals you can use for interp  behind the bench, across from the kit.  Please store them there, unless directed otherwise by a crew member.

Thanks,

Dear Fellow Rainlisters,,

Published online 4 May 2011 | Nature473, 16 (2011) | (excerpted and reference to paper)
https://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=wayward-whale-in-mediterranean
?
Warming Arctic cited as likely cause of freak migration. by Nadia Drake ...

?
"The sighting of a lone grey whale (Eschrichtius robustus) last [May] off the beaches of Israel, and then again near Spain, came as a surprise to many... might indicate a wider trend: the mixing of northern Atlantic and Pacific marine ecosystems, made possible by the climate-driven depletion of Arctic sea ice.
?
Marine biologist Aviad Scheinin, from the Israel Marine Mammal Research and Assistance Center in Haifa, and his colleagues considered the errant whale's most likely origin and route. In a paper published online on 19 April in Marine Biodiversity Records (A. P. Scheinin et al. Mar. Biodiv. Rec. 4, e28; 2011), they rule out a source in the presumed-extinct North Atlantic population. Comparing photos of the whale's fluke with those of individuals in the small, critically endangered western (North) Pacific population, they found no matches, implying that the whale is a member of the roughly 20,000-strong eastern North Pacific population....
?
-ice coverage in the Arctic was sparse enough to make such a passage plausible, says Harry Stern, a mathematician at the University of Washington in Seattle, who studies sea ice. "The opening of the passages that we've seen in the last four or five years is unprecedented," he adds.
?
John Calambokidis,..., says the authors have done a good job in considering factors such as grey whale populations, feeding habits and swimming speeds. "A grey whale in the Mediterranean does not make sense," he says. "But among the explanations for the bizarre occurrence, this is definitely the most plausible."


The lack of a tissue sample means that the whale can't be traced to its original population using genetic markers. With no further data, it is premature to conclude that the sighting is related to climate change, says ecologist Kristin Laidre of the University of Washington in Seattle. But climate is sure to affect future whale sightings, she says. "There's no doubt that ice loss will allow the Arctic to act as a corridor for marine species exchange between areas that were previously geographically isolated," she says. "Whales will migrate to the Arctic earlier, move farther north and stay longer. Those are things we predict, and expect to see."
?
Grey whales aren't the only creatures whose ranges might expand as summer sea ice contracts. "You could make an argument for any species with an open-ocean phase in its life history," says evolutionary biologist David Tallmon, from the University of Alaska Southeast, in Juneau. Potential travellers range from the smallest diatoms to the largest whales ? and include terrestrial species seeking colder temperatures nearer the poles (see Nature 468, 891; 2010). "Whole thermal regimes changing could lead to all sorts of weird ecological effects," Tallmon says.

Hello All Naturalist Corps members,
 It is time for our second annual CINC Sunset Picnic Social at Rincon Park on the bluffs overlooking our beautiful Santa Barbara Chanel. I made the reservation for Wednesday June 8th. Dick Bellman will soon follow with an email flyer. Mark your calendars. This will be a great time to meet all of our new recruits, as well as refresh acquaintances with retreads.  All boat crews and staff will be invited, as are of course our CINP and CINMS mentors and researchers.
 Last year 40ish folks showed up at various times from mid afternoon toe sunset. The site is reserved all day, BBQ pit will be active in the late afternoon, and the gazebo and picnic tables are all ours. A public bathroom is on site. It is suggested you bring your own beach chairs to enjoy the view from surrounding bluff level terrain. Details to follow from Dick soon. We will only need a rough count of those planning to attend, and a small donation at the site to cover reservation fee, ice, and some goodies for the hard working crews who will join us after the returning 4:30 boats clean up. Email me at this address if you are thinking you will join us. Be there or be square!!  Paul P

20 bottlenose
70 common dolphin
3 humpbacks
3 more in the distance with one pec slapping

Had a lovely crossing this morning from Ventura on the Islander to Scorpion on Santa Cruz. Before leaving the harbor a handful of bottlenose were feeding near the harbor entrance and more just out side.

Then we came upon a small group of common dolphin, as we neared the island we were treated with close up looks of three full grown adults, with lots of surface time and fluking with almost every sound. We could see spouts in the distance and the major splashing caused by at least one of the more distance whales pec slapping.

The afternoon boat was then treated with 6 humpbacks and lots of breaching. We could see the breaching from Cavern Point and the pier! We also observed common dolphin moving from Cavern Point toward Scorpion. When I reach the pier at about 12:30, the commons were heading toward Anacapa.

Lots of fox sightings, busy day on the island with two hikes, school group pulling seems like tons of non-native grass with the aid of Channel Islands Restoration. Three boats arriving tomorrow. What a splendid place to be.



Sincerely,

Greetings Naturalists, Boat Operators Crew and Staff, NPS Staff and CINMS
Staff,

Hopefully you already have the date of *June 8* marked on your calendar for
the *2nd Annual CINC Potluck Picnic*.  A special invitation is extended to
all the new CINC volunteers.  We hope you are able to come and participate
as this will be an ideal opportunity to meet current members of the
Naturalist Corps.  Please refer to the attached flyer for all pertinent
information about this "not to be missed event"!!

While not absolutely necessary it would be helpful in the planning if you
would email your intention to attend or your "definite maybe" to Paul at
ppetrich29 at me.com

As an added note, there are some ways in which we could use some *additional
help:*

   - Fire crew - to start and monitor the fire on which we will grill our
   wonderful meals (charcoal, lighter fluid, rake provided)
   - Collection Agency -  make sign(s) and collection container to collect
   the requested donation; help with financial accounting
   - Ambiance committee -  help set up and create a festive ambiance; and
   organize the layout
   - Clean Up -  actually everyone is part of this committee.

If you are willing to help in any of these areas please contact Paul or
myself directly.  Contact info can be found on the attached flyer.  Thanks
in advance to anyone who can lend a hand.

We look forward to seeing (hopefully) everyone on the 8th of June.

This link is for an article in the May 5, 2011 NY Times. Researchers 
report that water levels on the West Coast have been decreasing over the 
past 30 years. They predict a new cycle is starting in which water 
levels on the West Coast will be rising, as they have been through most 
of the world. As part of this new cycle there will be less cold water 
forced up to the surface along West Coast shorelines. The article does 
not address any change in the nutrients brought up by the cold water for 
ocean life.

We had the room set up with the Whale Photo ID on a center table, including whale models, baleen, simulated orca tooth, krill, etc, and the CINP/CINMS banners on each side.  We had 4 varieties of posters on different tables that kids had to earn.  We also had a CINP/CINMS information table.  We also had the CINMS logo whale tail stamp for hands if desired. 

Time flew by with 1.5 hours of outreach (not including set up and break down), and we definitely had students master the PID board!

Go Brandon Islanders!

Debra

Hi Folks, 

Here are some photos I got for today's harbor clean up.

As you will see, Shirley Johnson, Sally Eagle, and tara Brown all had a good had in this a well.

Click on the link below, and you are in.

As always, once open, it is best to go to the upper right hand corner, find and click on the "slide show" box to bring it to best resolution at full screen.

Once at full screen, you can also go to the upper left hand corner, select "slow," to take it in a little longer.

To get out of it, you can go to the upper right hand corner and click "Return to Gallery" or just click your "esc" button.  

If you would like to stop a frame, click on the center of the image, the again to continue.

You can drag and drop any of them to your desk top, or wherever.

GREAT job Ken, with that photo piece.  And in case anybody doesn't know what a
"receiver" is....  i thought they were pulling up radio parts or something.  Radio receiver... 
Chris Mobley explained it to me....   Receivers look kinda like crab traps, only they are plastic.
The crabber is allowed to store his catch in these "receivers"  for so many days in the case that the market price
isn't high enough, in order for him to sell at a higher price.   The harbor cleanup effort pulled up at least 6 of
these "receivers"...  learn something new every day..

Shirley

Mothers Day Correction,
 I am really 39, not 29, as Dick gave me credit to be! My email is <ppetrich39 at hotmail.com>.   Paul  
P.S. Rincon Park is right on the Ventura County and Santa Barbara County border. Turn on Bates Road toward the ocean- then turn up "west" ( remember your geology and geography  lessons ) on the frontage road to the big parking lot for the Santa Barbara County part of the park on the bluff. If you turn "east" you will end up in the wrong park-Ventura County part known for its surfing.  Paul

The Sappire Princess cruise ship was in town and we had a boat full of
Midwesterns who got to see our choppy, windy channel with sun and close
looks at 8 humpbacks; lots of flukes, 1 breach in distance; "a rollover"
from a calf;

I got 6 good PID whales  which included 2 of 3 together - the 3rd was a
first year calf but apparently mom hasn't told her see is suppose to fluke
and wave at the boats so no PID shot on the little one

As a reminder, there will be a FSTS lecture tomorrow evening. For video archives of previous lectures please visit: http://www.nps.gov/chis/photosmultimedia/from-shore-to-sea-lecture-videos.htm

For details on the May 11 lecture see below! 

 
Probably More Than You Want to Know About Rockfish

Dr. Milton Love, a popular and entertaining speaker as well as a leading researcher, will provide intriguing information on rockfish natural history and habitats in the Santa Barbara Channel during the May ?From Shore to Sea? lecture.

For the past 15 years Love has operated a research submersible to carry out comparative fish surveys of populations including rockfish that live around both natural and artificial reefs throughout the southern California Bight.

Love?s research is designed to better understand the current and historic patterns of distribution of rockfish and how they adapt to different open ocean environments including how rockfish settle at oil platforms.

Love, a research biologist for 38 years, currently with University of California Santa Barbara?s Marine Science Institute, has authored or co-authored more than 80 publications on the fishes of the Pacific Coast. He has conducted research on numerous economically important marine fishes in the northeast Pacific, including over 30 years of work on rockfishes. His most recent book is The Rockfishes of the Northeast Pacific.

The ?From Shore to Sea? lecture series is sponsored by Channel Islands National Park with support from Channel Islands National Marine Sanctuary. The purpose of the series is to further the understanding of current research on the Channel Islands and surrounding waters. The lectures occur at 7:00 p.m. on the second Wednesday of March, April, May, September, October, and November at the Channel Islands National Park Robert J. Lagomarsino Visitor Center, 1901 Spinnaker Drive in the Ventura Harbor. The programs are free and open to the public.

The dolphin/cat interaction is definitely not "cute."  Cats are noted for the transmission of the protozoan Toxoplasma gondii.  In humans, this protozoan can induce miscarriages and can be fatal to those who are immunesuppressed.  Among marine mammals, it has been found in sea otters, manatees, multiple species of delphinids (including Tursiops, Stenella, and Orcinus), and belugas.  In sea otters off the Big Sur coast, it is responsible for a significant number of deaths from meningo-encephalitis (infection of the brain and its coverings), likely from cat and wild feline feces that wash out to sea; in other marine mammals, it exists anywhere on the spectrum from incidental finding at necropsy to cause of death.   Marine mammals are susceptible to a number of human diseases; their immune systems face dramatically different (and often less intense) challenges than do those of humans and other terrestrial animals.  Years ago, at Marineland of the Pacific, each human flu season saw the deaths of at least several dolphins from similar respiratory conditions....

Regards to all,

Chuck Rennie

Gary Sullivan is signed up as naturalist, and would love to take the PID spot.

I can move him, and then a naturalist position will be open.

Hi Shauna and my CINC friends,

Just now I watched this video and listened to Dr. Braje explain how what has 
happened to rock fish in the "prehistoric past" will help us!

But last night many of us attended Dr. Michael Love's humorous presentation of 
the incredible rock fish decline since the 1970s --- in our lifetime.

Rock on,
Tara

Gary Sullivan is signed up as naturalist, and would love to take the PID spot.

I can move him, and then a naturalist position will be open.

Greetings All,
 
Valerie Olson and I had lots of fun at the Washington Elementary School Science Night 5/12/11, 6:00-7:45.
 
We had the Whale Photo ID Board, the Matching Game (memory game containing photos of animals in the CINP and CINMS), whale models/krill/baleen, and a small number of varied posters.  We also had Valerie's newly updated blue & humpback whale visuals which are now in the Condor Express kit (and other boats soon).  Be sure to check it out.   
 
This school event was very lively, and time flew by as usual.  One of the staff members estimated 500 people at the entire event, with possibly 76-100 visitors to our room.  
 
Hooray for Washington Wildcats!
 
Debra Herring

Today was my first time out as a Naturalist on the Island Adventure. Catherine French was evaluating. We had 19 whale watchers from around the local area and two from Chicago.

It was a beautiful day out by Santa Cruz. We saw whale spouts everywhere and had 25 humpback whale sightings and 2 blue whales. After watching whales for some time about halfway through the day trip we went over to Painted Cave to get a change of scenery and then back out to the whales.

Two blues (one lunge feeding)

8 close up humpbacks and many more in the distance..all around

 

Pretty nice ocean conditions for today (even though we had a few not do
well). dolphin sightings right away (common). Mat/Dave steered the boat to
SCI and the whales were all around. Many kayakers near painted cave, not a
chance to peek inside. Could someone please identify the small purple
flowering plants up high on the western side of the cave if still in bloom,
I would really appreciate it. (thnx ahead of time).

 

Bruce Matthews was up top with the talk - mentor Barbara La Corte, I
struggled with the combo (PID case), a bit frustrating when I forget things
but got help from Ms. La Corte (it is in my phone though sigh).

 

Parking a bit scarce, maybe clean up event still going on, people dressed in
hazmat clothing with junk all around the middle of the harbor parking lot.

 

Kat.

Vic Cox and Others,
 Vic, your phone message with return # was deleted by mistake. But this answer is for everyone!  Of course spouses and dates are welcome. Singles come too! So far we have had an unofficial count of about 40 planning to attend. Encourage others!  The site is on a bluff with a great view, but with access to the long sandy beach meandering toward Carpinteria.
 It is a picnic type event. Everyone bring your own food and drink ( SB County allows adult beverages there if you bring your own ). Last year a few came early and had a wine social at a comfortable overlook,and  others who came early went for a long walk on the beach. It is a great swimming beach as well. Kate Faulkner biked up from Ventura to join us, and arranged to have the bike transported back. Dick and I will have the BBQ pit going, and a couple big ice chests with ice to keep beverages cool for you. Dick likes to put paper table cloths on the ample picnic tables, so we could use help there. We will have the table cloths and tape. The $5 donation covers these things plus the reservation fee for the site , which is ours all day. We need help in cleaning up at sunset. 
 The potluck aspect means basically to bring your own food, but expand one dish enough to feed one more person. We don't want the boat crews from Ventura and Santa Barbara to have to scrounge something up. They are working hard until 5 p.m. to clean up the boats, and we want them to join us! Plan to take all your own leftovers home. This approach Dick and I think solves the personal preferences for food each person may have. Bring your own plates and utensils. There is a sink and running water. You will be able to cook your own whatever over the huge BBQ pit we will have ready.  See you at Rincon Beach Park  June 8th, 5 p.m. or earlier!   Paul

Hi All:

When Capt. Lee and I were in Baja California Sur this February for the viewing of cow calf pairs in Bahia Magdalena, the naturalist who is a Professor of marine biology, showed us samples of barnacles that are endemic to the gray and humpback species.

Below is the right up of that appears on the back side of the photo, the piece is laminated. This should start appearing in whale kits later this week or by next week. Please show them, but do not just let them lie around. Please let me know if you have any specific questions about these items. Due to the technical aspects of the RAIN list, I cannot attach a photo. So, next time you are on board the IPCo boats or the Condor Express, please check out our latest educational prop.

Copy on back of photo:
Humpback Barnacle (right)
The barnacle Coronula diadema lives only on humpback whale skin. Barnacles regularly 
colonize the skin of filter-feeding whales, and they often do so in huge numbers ?
 one humpback whale, for instance, can host almost 1,000 pounds of barnacles. 
(On an 80,000-lbs. whale it?s about as much extra weight as summer clothing on a human.)
 
Gray Whale Barnacle (left)
One type of barnacle, Cryptolepas rhachianecti, attaches only to gray whales. Once this barnacle
 has settled on "its own" gray, the barnacle spends its whole life hanging onto that whale.


Snug inside their hard limestone shells, the barnacles stick out feather feet to comb the sea 
and capture plankton and other food for themselves as the whales swim along. As the 
young whales grow the barnacle clusters grow too. Gradually the barnacles form large, 
solid white colonies. The colonies appear as whitish patches, especially on the whale's head, 
flippers, back and tail flukes.

Whale biologists look at the pattern of barnacle clusters in order to tell individual grays apart. 
This is possible because no two barnacle clusters, like no two human's fingerprints, are alike!

Aloha All,
A most excellent day on the water today 5/16/2001.  I went with Sally and
John on the Condor Express for my evaluation and it was amazing. Captain
Matt called ?Thar She Blows? and told us that unless his eyes were playing
tricks, there were lots of whales ahead.
We had passengers from Hungary, China, Niagara Falls, Texas, Pennsylvania,
one couple from Malibu taking their grandson who they took as a child and
now is on a football scholarship to UNLV. Lots of smiles!!!
They were treated to an incredible day, ready for this:
6-10 Pacific White-sided Dolphin, 10-12  Long-beaked Common Dolphin, 18 Blue
Whales, 18 Humpback Whales, 7-10 California Sea Lions, 15-20 Harbor Seals.
We observed 3 Blue Whales exhibiting ?racing? behavior. One Blue Whale
rolling on his side and another one bringing his head out of the water
within 100 yards of the boat, Several Blue Whale flukes and numerous
Humpback flukes.
Captain Matt took us up close to Santa Cruz Island where we observed the
Harbor Seals ?hauled out? on two beaches. It doesn't? get any better than
this!!!

Fellow Volunteers...?

The CIFLML neither floated nor was it Marine today, game called before the first

not come to an end this Saturday as predicted.

Does anyone have thoughts on this question posed to me recently?

"We have lived in Malibu for over 30 years and are seeing  large (80) and small 
flocks(5-6) of pelicans flying along the cliffs, over land along PCH flying in 
both directions, not over the ocean as they normally do.  We have never seen 
this before... would you have an explanation for this behavior?"

Gray whale sightings from Summerland to Hammond's were spectacular April 24-May

This is what I found in Sibley and on the internet about migration of immature, non-breeding and post-breeding Brown Pelicans.? Apparently, this migration
?has been well-documented, and flight over land takes advantage of thermals.


Postbreeding migration out of Gulf of California begins in Jun?Jul, earlier if nesting unsuccessful (Anderson and Anderson 1976).
 Most migrants cross Baja peninsula at its narrowest parts, most 
commonly at Bah?a de los Angeles (D. Anderson pers. comm.), then move 
northward along Pacific coast as far as s. British Columbia. Birds from 
colonies in S. California Bight also migrate northward at end of their breeding season in Jul?Aug (Anderson and Anderson 1976). Numbers from s. California to s. British Columbia peak in Sep?Oct, then decline as in-dividuals return south to breeding areas by Dec?Jan (Briggs et al. 1981, 1983; Jaques 1994; Shepard 1999a, 1999b). Small proportion of Gulf of California
 population (mostly immatures) migrates inland to Sal-ton Sea, remains 
there through summer and autumn, then presumably returns to Gulf by 
Dec?Jan (Anderson et al. 1977a, Sturm 1998). Some

asking questions and doing the "matching game" as budding researchers, kept me busy
for over two hours.? Many returned with friends for this popular activity for kids and often
parents tried their hand at Photo-ID with less accurate results.? 
Bonus: ?? Monte Vista PTA rewarded all exhibitors with an Italian dinner? !? Monte Vista

Message-ID: <C9FC315E.1AD7C%macdonald@geol.ucsb.edu>

FYI:

In an ocean of noise, sea life faces new threat
For a decade, marine biologists have been trying to unravel the subtle ways
sonar may harm whales and dolphins, which hunt and travel using
echolocation. But experts peeling back the role of sound in the marine world
are making surprising observations.? Alongside a boom in international
shipping and deep-sea oil development, the ocean is growing ever-noisier and
scientists are increasingly wary of sound's potential to impact sea life
beyond just marine mammals.

Herring and cod appear to alter their swimming patterns in response to noise
from ships. Schools of bluefin tuna scatter, with some diving and others
rising to the surface. New studies suggest even small bumps in ocean noise
may affect everything from damselfish and pollock to octopus and squid. To

Greetings~

I am a Class of 2003 naturalist returning after a lengthy leave of absence, and am signed up to be on the Condor? Express on June 25th.? There is a PID spot still open on this trip, and I would most appreciate if one of my old, fellow CINCers were to sign on and certify me that day.

Any takers?

Today?s trip was an 8 hour ACS trip billed as a Humpback Adventure ? and
that is was!

 

Today?s naturalists were Alisa Shulman-Janiger (the Orca expert) who did a
lot of the narration and Wes Fritz (the bird expert) who pointed out the
birds. No working CINCers on board today. It was more of a whale day than a
bird day but saw good birds were seen.

 

We left harbor at 8am and immediately saw about 8-10 bottlenose dolphins

About a ? hour out the whale adventure started with a pair of Humpbacks that
we stayed with a while. 

 

A breach was seen in the distance and we headed that way to find 2 more
Humpbacks that we enjoyed with other spouts in the area.

One of these jumped completely out of the water less than 50 feet from the
bow.

 

Then we saw larger spouts and headed over to the Blue Whales where we saw 1,
then 3 and at least 2 more in distance (6 total Blues). We watched these big
boys for a while and everyone got great looks and photos.

 

The weather was spectacular - sunny, no wind, no spitty sea spray, no waves
over the boat, calm seas all day ? one of the best days in a long time (for
me at least).

 

While looking for more whale action we came upon a large Mola Mola that we
watched for a bit before moving on.

 

Then we headed over the SCI and cruised along the shore and saw a zillion
sea lions on every rock ? they were everywhere including many in the water
thermoregulating the mid 50?s degree water. I think it was the most sea
lions I have seen on this side if the island in a long time. I guess they
wanted to go rock climbing today instead of hauling out on nearby beaches.
After looking into the cave we cruised east along the island some more and
slowly turned toward home. 

 

About 2+ miles out we saw a huge breach and raced over to check out the
action!

The best was yet to come. When we got there we saw lots of action with tail
slapping, tail throws, water flying everywhere. We watched this show for
quite a while and then the grand finale was less than 50 yards away with
huge breach from an adult, then a juvenile, then an adult again. It was like
the adults were teaching the young one how to show off to the tour boats!
Then after 15+ minutes of nothing we left toward home. It was like the last
curtain call. The performance was over and they swam away not to be seen
again.

 

Some of bird species seen in addition to the usual gulls, pelicans and
cormorants were:

Sooty Shearwater

Ancient Murrelet

Common Murre

Pink- footed Shearwater

Red- necked Phalarope

Pigeon Guillemot

Rhinoceros Auklet

Cassin?s Auklet

a lost Wilson?s Warbler looking for a place to land but never landed on the
boat

 

Amazing Day with Awesome weather and Incredible Wildlife! 

 

Until next time,

 

Kevin

Hi Naturalists,

4 Blue whales
1 Humpback
~ 2000 - 2500 Common dolphins
~20 Pacific white-sided dolphins
Many small groups of California Sea lions
84 passengers
Crew: Cptn. Dave, wife Cathy, Dennis
CINC: Dino Dal Bon (PID), Ken Tatro, Maria Ornelas


Captain Dave and crew, as reliable as ever, arranged the presence of the noted marine life. Countries represented among the passengers were: U.S. Germany, India, France, Holland, Sweden, and others. It was a most exciting day, with scattered groups of sea lions. All Blues and the Humpback were encountered/sighted East of SCI. The first one was moving slowly, feeding just under the surface. We could hear her/his exhalation and see the length of its massive body as it started his dives, but without lifting its tail. It was a spectacular sight all the same. We stayed with him for a few diving cycles and enjoyed seeing the white-sided dolphins "play? = share food" with this whale. One of the tiny dolphins slid across the huge whale, to everyone's delight. The second Blue was was swimming with a purpose and launched powerfully, thus increasing its speed. We followed for a while. Dave then treated us by riding along SCI, many passengers were clicking away. Today's was a bumpy trip (a few nauseous people, myself included), maybe a Beaufort of ~ 4-5. A true privilege to bear witness today out in the Channel.

Mini report from me... five young fellows, two of whom, are mine, hit their stand up paddle boards yesterday for a jaunt from Jalama to Bullito at Hollister Ranch which is just North of  Gaviota State Park. Epic, as one might expect, but a great adventure. But want to report they saw a Grey...probably a juvenile... barnacles, curious, taking it's time etc. Liked that critter way more than the shark.....xor

Hello Naturalists,

4 Humpbacks

Numerous sea lions on buoys

Shearwaters

Western Gulls

One fat seal 




Captain Dave at the wheel with Dennis and Brooke as crew. Naturalists aboard included Valerie Olson, Bill Wakelee and Sally Eagle on PID. Wind was an initial concern but the ocean cooperated. 


Our first encounter about five miles south was a Humpback traveling solo, feeding deep enough to display full flukes numerous times, and giving us a wonderful view of the ventral side which was very dark with little pigmentation. We stayed to watch for approximately 45 minutes before Captain Dave took us out to the eastern end off Santa Cruz Island. Numerous Shearwaters indicated a pair of Humpbacks surface feeding. Early on, one Humpback displayed her flukes virtually in slow motion and we were able to identify her "hemispheric lobe". Both Sally and Valerie called simultaneously "FEMALE!" All aboard were happy to know we definitely had a female Humpback for a companion! We were also treated to lunge feeding techniques and some beautiful synchronized swimming. At one point the Humpbacks rolled onto their side to feed and we were able to see half of the tail gliding through the water like a tall fin. Plenty of vocalization took place between the pair. These two were then joined by a third Humpback who continued to surface feed with them. A few pec slaps were thrown in, to the delight of all on board. The water was unusually clear and we were able to witness the beautiful but eerie greenish glow of white on both the pec fins and tail under the water. This made it easy to track their movements. A very friendly sea lion followed the slowed boat to jump through the stern waves, with many passengers taking pictures of his playful behavior. With the wind intensifying and already one very ill passenger, the remaining few miles to Santa Cruz were forfeited and the return trip home was pleasant with very happy passengers. Also noted was the presence of three large ships using the mainland side of the channel as their shipping lane. 


Upon our return to the harbor, we were greeted by one very fat seal taking a snooze on the bait barge.


Passengers on board hailed from Liverpool and London, England; Vienna, Austria; Capetown, South Africa; Phoenix, AZ, Roswell, New Mexico; North Carolina. 


I had a wonderful time and want to thank Sally, Valerie and Bill for being so supportive on my evaluation trip today. I can't wait for my next trip out!


Signed, 

"one excited newby"

Subject: [CINC] CX Windy Wednesday
Message-ID: <961223.90386.qm@web181016.mail.ne1.yahoo.com>

5 Humpbacks including one calf/juvenile
1 Blue
numerous sea lions
sooty shearwaters
western gulls
brown pelicans
1 juvenile night heron on shore (identified by Mat)
lots of wind and waves

Although Capt. Mat professionally alerted all passengers to the possibility of 
turbulent seas, all came aboard for the adventure.  Calm seas for a short while 
followed by windy choppy conditions.  Thankfully Mat's keen sight and diligence 
found the cetaceans.  First we stayed with a pair, probably a cow calf 
combination, for a lengthy while.  Then another twosome were sighted followed by 
a solo.  We were told from the fly bridge that there was a blue in the distance 
but it's 13 plus minute dive didn't leave us enough time to pursue it.  All but 
a few aboard from Ireland, England, Australia, the Netherlands, Salt Lake City 
and nearer by braved the rough seas and enjoyed the trip without ill effects.

Today's question is:
How deep can a cormorant dive?

CINCers Deb Clark, Ginny Fischer, Hal Altman PID, along with CX crew Capt. Mat, 
Dennis and Matt.

Hi Naturalists,Regarding it being a female humpback, that was decided by the Captain Mat and Captain Dave team that either got that from the many tail lobs or a position they saw the whale in during a dive. I wanted to ask that same question. They did give some details and I need a recap. Anyone? ? Thanks for asking Catherine!!

Hi Laura, Catherine et al.
 
Phil Clapham writes in the Encyclopedia of Marine Mammals: "There are no easily observable differences between male and female humpbacks. Females possess a grapefruit-sized lobe at the rear of the genital slit: this lobe is absent in males (Glockner-Ferrari and Ferrari, 1990)," http://books.google.com/books?id=2rkHQpToi9sC&pg=PA582&lpg=PA582&dq=female+humpback+lobe&source=bl&ots=hDeAMu67rx&sig=ypa-yxURByLthLWRskJKey9_Sv0&hl=en&ei=mgHgTZjqKpS-sAPU4NmfBw&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=3&ved=0CCQQ6AEwAg#v=onepage&q=female%20humpback%20lobe&f=false
 
Since the whale was lobtailing very close to the Condor Express, the captains saw the little bump in the genital area. It is called the hemispherical lobe and was discovered by Debbie Glockner in Hawaii in the early 1980s.
 
Take care,
 
Bernardo

The AI trip did go to ESCI today.  A bucking Vanguard got us there in under 3 hours.  2 1/2 hours on the island and a 2 hour surf home.  Wind was really howling on the island.  We scrubbed the Cavern Point hike for a walk into Scorpion Canyon.  I accompanied the MERITO class of 25 forth/fifth graders.  We saw 2 foxes on the island and 3 or 4 common dolphins briefly sighted just before landing on the island.  We were skiffed in to the beach due to low tide.  Not your average trip to Scorpion.  
One family of 3 had gone to Ventura Harbor, found out they were on the AI trip from Oxnard, went to ESCI anyway and then wanted to go back on the big boat to Ventura.  I reminded them that their car would be in Oxnard so they returned on the Vanguard.  One lady and several of the kids got sick.  All of the IPCO boats were out there today keeping up with the changes due to weather.  It was still a day in paradise!

of sea lions competing with Pelicans and cormorants for fish.? We returned

Hi George and fellow CINCers,

Here are some very short videos of cormorants diving.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vDG_e2IgrFc

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VHWNx5PcnGU&NR=1

Info and pretty pictures...

Brandt?s Comorant
http://www.birdinginformation.com/birds/comorants/brandts-comorant/
Double-Crested Cormorant
http://www.birdinginformation.com/birds/comorants/double-crested-cormorant/
Pelagic Cormorant
http://www.birdinginformation.com/birds/comorants/pelagic-cormorant/
There are 37 different cormorant species worldwide. (We have 3 species  
we see locally, Brants, Double Crested and Pelagic ) and they vary in  
how long and deep they can dive. (Brants, 150 ft., Double Crested 40  
ft and Pelagic 180 ft.)  They have oil interwoven in their feathers  
that make them less buoyant than other birds and they swallow stones,  
which are lodged in their gut and act like a scuba diver's weight belt.

Cormorants are waterbirds, whose name means "crows of the sea." A  
member of the pelican family, they can fly at speeds of 50 mph and are  
particularly adept at swimming underwater, which is why they are such  
skilled fish catchers. They feed mostly on fish but also feed on  
crustaceans, frogs, tadpoles and insect larvae.
They live mainly in tropical and temperate areas but have been found  
in polar waters. Some are solely saltwater birds. Some are solely  
freshwater birds. Some are both. Some nest in trees. Others nest on  
rock islands or cliff edges.  In the wild they form some of the  
densest colonies of birds known. (There is a large nesting colony in  
the cliff face at the Landing Cove at Anacapa Island) The eggs are a  
chalky-blue color. There is usually one brood a year. The young are  
fed through regurgitation.  Cormorants form same sex partnerships when  
they can not find opposite sex partners.

Their guano is collected and used as fertilizer.

Unlike most water birds, which have water resistant feathers,  
cormorants have feathers that are designed to get throughly wet Their  
feathers don't trap air like water resistant varieties. This make it  
easier for them to dive and stay submerged while they chase fish. But  
this also means that their feathers become waterlogged. After spending  
time in the water cormorants spend considerable time on shore drying  
out. When they are out of the water they stretch out their wings to  
dry their feathers.

Cormorant pursue fish underwater with their eyes open, their wings  
pressed against their bodies, kicking furiously with their legs and  
feet at the back end of their bodies. It swims underwater with its  
wings folded along its body, and thrusting its webbed feet which  
provides enough propulsion for a cormorant to tailgate a fish and  
catch it crosswise on its hooked bill. The cormorant generally brings  
a fish to surface after 10 to 20 seconds and flips it in the air to  
position it correctly and smooth down its spines.?

Cormorants swallow fish whole and head first. They usually take a  
little time to shift the fish around to get it to go down their throat  
the right way. Bones and other indigestible parts are regurgitated in  
a nasty goo. In the Brazilian Amazon, cormorants have been observed  
working as a team, splashing the water with their wings and driving  
fish into shallow water near the shore where they are easily collected.

I hope this helps and welcome to the Naturalist Corps!

Subject: [CINC] New Channel Islands Plant Videos available on You Tube
Message-ID: <4DE41347.4090708@cox.net>

Learning new Channel Islands plants is fun. We've added several videos 
of plants on ESCI to the You Tube channel "ondeerpath." You can check 
out plants you want to see before you leave for the islands and look up 
ones you've seen when you get back.
There are now 30 short videos in which Ken Owen shows and talks about 
the most popular plants located from the hillside by the pier up to the 
two restoration sites next to the lower campground.
You can access the videos at www.youtube.com/ondeerpath.
If you are at home on your computer, you definitely want to use the You 
Tube site instead of the video files on Joel's Skydrive CINC site. On 
You Tube you can see a page of thumbnails of all the videos to help find 
the ones you want. The quality of the videos is much, much better. I've 
also created playlists in which you can look for plants based on their 
location.
We'll also be uploading the videos to Joel's Skydrive site. These 
low-resolution videos are in small files that are great for downloading 
to your mobile device so you can view them when looking at the plants on 
the island. I'll let you know as soon as they're available.
Feedback on problems with the videos or your suggestions are always

Corps Folks,
 Thanks loads to David Chubb for the GREAT follow up to our fantastic overview of island plants on ESCI last week! Who did the video and programming to You Tube?
 Another recent positive media coverage of one of our islands of the CINP was an article in the Santa Barbara News-Press Saturday the 28th; "Trail Quest: Anacapa Island" by James Wapotich. James does not mention who gave him a guided tour, but it is obvious that person was trained well in our scripted hike! James takes care in stressing to hikers to stay to the trails as the "Western" Gulls and their soon to be wandering hatchlings "were there first." Pinniped Point, Cathedral Point, and Inspiration Point are all highlighted, as are the sea lions, the Giant Coreopsis, and the historic lighthouse and complex. Sadly, missing is any mention of the vast kelp forests and the Marine Protected Areas which should guide a visitor's focus to the unseen underwater ecosystem which worldwide actually dwarfs the terrestrial ones.
 IPCO and the CI National Park  get great coverage via reservation info. Keep on Truckin (and Swimmin), Paul.

Corps Folks 
 An very important P.S. to my previous report on the "Trail Quest: Anacapa Island" article in the Sat News-Press. James Wapotich also covered the Chumash midden stop on Anacapa. Related to middens and the Chumash, is some info we received from a CINP Archeologist waiting to take the Park boat back wit us after last Steve Junak's very informative plant ID tour. He said very recent radio carbon test results of a current midden dig near Potato Harbor  on ESCI being conducted by UCSB archeologist is actually 1050 years old! I am sure more will be coming out on this very soon.   Paul

All--IPCO took campers to Santa Rosa today for the big weekend, but they probably calculated it would be too rough when it came time to pick up the daytrippers this afternoon. So we stayed on shore.--Doug

BTW The trip to Miguel was cancelled entirely.

Thanks to Dick Bellman and Joel, they pointed out to me my keyboard-o. Radio carbon dating  of the midden was at 10,050 years not 1050! Thanks guys, Paul
