A quiet morning was interrupted when we encountered a massive group of Risso's Dolphins. The first fully identified beaked whales of the trip were a pod of five Blainville's Beaked Whales that approached to within a reasonable distance. Scope views enabled the high arched jawline to be seen, along with barnacles growing off the teeth erupting out of the lower-jaw of a male's heavily and deeply scarred head. In ideal conditions, three more Dwarf Sperm Whales were seen and a group of about 50 Spinner Dolphins late in the afternoon. A single Audubon's Shearwater was a birding highlight for the day.
