Its amazing to me that there are still places on earth where wildlife is blissfully unafraid of humans. It comes as no surprise that this was one of Jacques Cousteau’s favorite places and he filmed the area and its wildlife extensively for his tv series. Swimming with a whale shark on the boat-trip to Isla Isabel.

Today is the United Nations World Wildlife Day, a time to celebrate and raise awareness of the living world around us. As a proof, two Dalmatian Pelicans are flying low above us, while a Bluethroat disappears into the nearby bush. What are your best wildlife moments? And what are your wildlife dreams?

Miracle upon miracle, I actually ran into my college friend at the visitor center, and now that that logistical snafu was taken care of I could actually focus on where I was and, even better, what wildlife we could see. Migrating Gray Whales. The beauty of traveling lies in the unexpected. Point Reyes is a magical place.

It took me awhile, but I managed to get on quite a few, especially when the boat slowed down to go check out some Humpback Whales and a huge number of Common Dolphins. Sooty Shearwaters and a Western Gull fly back the aftermath of a Humpback Whale breaching. Humpback Whale Megaptera novaeangliae. It was amazing.
