Join guide and author, Dr. Sarah Allen and NOAA/Cordell Bank National Marine
Sanctuary educator, Jennifer Stock for a morning exploring pelagic life at Point
Reyes. Jutting out nearly 20 miles into the open ocean, the Point Reyes Headlands
are an ideal location for spotting migrating pelagic life, including Pacific Gray
Whales, Northern Elephant Seals, Pacific Harbor Seals, and thousands of nesting
seabirds. At this time of year, gray whale mothers may be seen close to the cliffs as
they escort their newborn young from southern California and Mexico back to their
feeding grounds in Alaska. On calm days, spouting and breaching whales can be seen. Occasionally offshore, pods of dolphins, porpoises and rarely even Orcas can be seen. We can expect to see Northern Elephant Seals dotting Drakes Beach shorelines as they molt their fur following the birthing season, as well as Harbor Seals that are birthing, and California sea lions as they migrate south to breeding grounds south of Point Reyes. A variety of seabirds including cormorants, Pigeon Guillemots, and Common Murres can be seen nesting on the rocky cliffs, and late migratory birds are also present. If we are lucky we may get a glimpse of a Peregrine Falcon, or a Great-Horned Owl nesting in the cliffs. The area provides views of the Greater Farallones and Cordell Bank National Marine Sanctuaries, where tens of thousands of birds and fish, as well as whales, sharks, seals, and other marine life feed from the cold, nutrient-rich waters.

What makes a seabird a seabird? What can you do to help seabirds? Learn about the amazing travels of Black-footed and Laysan Albatrosses in the Pacific Ocean and how you can see them in Cordell Bank National Marine Sanctuary.
