Guide Report-Gray Whales-San Ignacio Lagoon


Guide Report
Gray Whales at San Ignacio Lagoon


Campo Cortez at San Ignacio lagoon, Baja Ca. Sur. Mexico


March 5th thru 9th , 2013
Highs in the lower 70s
Lows in the 40s
Winds 12-25mph
    We had an excellent time with this group!! They met friendly whales right off the bat. We would sing or do some chanting: Aqui Balleena, Balleena, Balleena! 



We took the opportunity of the morning high tide to head into the mangroves for a closer look at the wildlife that presents itself. We saw some yellow crowned and black crowned night herons, white ibis, and a few tricolored herons all fishing for breakfast! We had some nice calm weather in the mornings to watch the gray whales feed on a light snack of amphipods. We also had one session of observing the courtship and mating behaviors! What a great trip and a experience that will last a life time.









All the best,
