Grey Whales at San Ignacio LagoonCampo Cortez at San Ignacio lagoon, Baja Ca. Sur. MexicoMarch 5th thru 9th , 2013

Some people have luck with the whale trips and
the sightings, but this is the group with more encounters from all the ones we
had so far! Just one time (the last trip) they didn´t touch a whale! The other
five opportunities, they touched mothers and babies and even single females on
heat that were displaying courtship behaviour by rolling on their backs,
showing their tails and pectoral fins and becoming very friendly! We had two at
one occasion at one point were we had two females approaching to the boat and
playing with each other and us for more than 45 minutes! I must say that was
incredible!
We had a “crazy” whale (the name remained after
various attacks!) following different boats and slapping tails next to us! We
think is a male not in the best mood for whatever reason… or perhaps he
confused us with a female whale and was flirting with us!!!! You can imagine
the stories we came up with while and after the events with the whale!
We managed to see coyotes around the camp!
After a few attempts to find them in the evening and night, we saw them! As
well, our beautiful couple of ospreys that live in the artificial platform
where their nest lays, still on the baby business! The second time she tried to
incubate seems to be the good one! She is being so dedicated for the last 12
days now, leaving the place just for a few minutes to feel her muscles again (I
guess…). He has been bringing food and collaborating with its part like a good
father will do.
Our list of species observed keeps on growing,
and we hope that for the end of the season will be full! We have right now 46
species between birds, mammals and reptiles. We encourage everyone to increase
it!!! Come and see!
