Arriving at Lopez Mateo, a birthing lagoon in Magdalena Bay, we went into pangas and headed out in search of gray whales. We were treated to some really great sights, including a gray whale calve and mother! With a bit of wind in the air there were many birds out on the water including magnificent frigates, brown pelicans, double-crested cormorants, great blue herons and even egrets. Later, after two rounds of whales watching, we had lunch at a local Mexican restaurant and enjoyed all that Magdalena Bay has to offer.
