From 20 miles offshore

A few pictures from the pelagic trip to Bodega Canyon and Cordell Bank on 18 September 2015:

Northern Fulmar (Fulmaris glacialis) 


 
Pomarine Jaeger (Stercorarius pomarinus)

Wings over wind over waves

(Black-footed Albatross with 6.5-foot wing span)


Many thanks to Debi Shearwater for 35 years of organizing pelagic trips out of Bodega Bay and giving so many people a chance to learn about offshore wildlife.
