My daughter, niece and I went on an Odyssey Whale Watch under somewhat adverse conditions (strong SE swell and chop - beat into it head-on for 2 fruitless hours) and found a few birds, but surprisingly OK diversity. No whales seen. Many unhappy people on board. Odyssey trips have become a bit mammal-o-centric I believe.
Bird Highlights:
2, maybe 3, Cory's shearwaters - one photo'd
1 Manx Shearwater
1 Great Shearwater
14 (est.) Red-Necked Phalaropes (fair photos)
2 Red Phalaropes (Compar. photos flying and sitting)
1 Jaeger sp. (likely a Pomarine)
a dozen Gannets, zero storm petrels.
