Went on a whale-watching cruise Sunday out of Seward, in the hope of seeing gray whales.
This is what we saw:
There were a few glances of a young humpback:
 |
| Oh, a dorsal fin! |
 |
| Another of the dorsal fin. |
 |
| And a wee bit of a tail. |
The best action was on shore while waiting for the cruise boat to board. A sub-adult bald eagle was chased by gulls and decided it wanted to land on the same boat mast where another bald eagle was perched.
Either that or it was running to mommy....
 |
| Sitting there, minding its own business |
 |
| Here comes the sub adult, flying away from the gulls. |
 |
| Looking for a place to escape the pesky gulls. |
 |
| The adult turns to face the incoming eagle |
 |
| Hard to tell one eagle from the other. |
 |
| The adult stayed put and the youngster went to another mast. |
So, there was more action onshore than off this day.
Unless, of course, you enjoy watching rainwater pour off the upper deck of the cruise boat.
