As often on pelagic birding trips, we had an amazing encounter with cetaceans, spending a couple hours with hundreds of these spotted dolphins hunting along with several Eden's Whales, and hundreds of shearwaters above them! Posted 3 years ago

    Yeah, looking for hunting cetaceans is one of the best ways to find pelagic birds, especially in the Northern Hemisphere where, in my experience, they don't respond as much to chumming. Posted 3 years ago
