Well, this is a bit of a preview, but I wanted to share an observation from today (12 March 2022). This morning I noticed a few Harbor Porpoise (Phocoena phocoena) off Bodega Head. Conditions were good for documenting them (flat calm, gray light), so I went to get my camera to try to get a few photographs. I was amazed to see some relatively large groups of porpoise — up to 15-20 individuals at a time. I'm used to seeing 1-2 individuals, but larger groups of six or more seemed unusual. They kept swimming by, mostly heading south, until I had estimated well over 100 individuals in about one hour!
I'll include some more photos in another post, but I thought I'd share one tonight. You can click on the image for a larger view. Look for their small triangular dorsal fins.
