Bahia Magdalena
Bahia Magdalena, on the Pacific side of the Peninsula, was cloaked today in fog. The gray whales we had come to see today were not visible, so we traveled south, down the Hull Canal, to the southern reaches of the bay. Along this 60-mile route, we encountered great numbers of seabirds such as pelicans, magnificent frigate birds, cormorants, different egrets and herons and ospreys. As we came upon the southern entrance to this huge bay, called “La Entrada”, we used our Zodiac fleet to go out and observe the gray whales, many of them swimming back and forth, or maintaining their position in the strong tide. Many chased each other, probably trying to mate. Some of them even approached our Zodiacs. Cameras whirred and clicked.
