🐋Full Whale Watching Report 🐋
Thank you, Dana, for the unbelievable photos from our trip on Sunday!
Captain Pete reports:
Our July 6, 2025, trip was a day of unparalleled beauty, marked by clear blue skies, a gentle cool breeze, and great visibility that helped in our search for marine mammals.
As we traversed the marsh, we were struck by the remarkable diversity of wildlife that surrounded us. Double-crested cormorants were spotted sunbathing on the bayhouse docks and along the marsh's shoreline while great egrets glided effortlessly through the air and marshland. Ospreys were seen perched upon wooden pillars and keeping a watchful eye for their next meal from the comfort of their nests. Common terns were a thrill to watch, diving from great heights to catch fish in the waters below. As we made our way into the ocean, we were greeted by a pod of bottlenose dolphins consisting of about 10 members. They were quite active; we even saw a few tail slaps.
As we continued our ocean adventure, we came across two whales, one of which was more active. We witnessed lunge feeds, terminal dives, breath exchanges, and a spectacular surprise breach! As the end of our ocean adventure was near, a surprise visitor was spotted: A BROWN PELICAN. We watched in awe as this beautiful bird was at certain moments flying close to the oceans surface and then soaring high above, this was the perfect ending to a spectacular Long Island Whale & Seal Watching weekend aboard the !
