It feels like summer ☀️ off the coast of Dana Point this week. Warm, clear water, bright sunshine, and dolphins gliding along the coast — conditions that feel more like mid-summer than early October.

With El Niño bringing warmer-than-usual ocean conditions, it’s been a beautiful time to be out on the water and watch the marine life moving through these unusually warm conditions. 🐬

Twice this week I saw Common dolphins while whale watching aboard @captdaveswhalewatching

A rainy day near Tofino, Vancouver Island, turned into an unforgettable wildlife encounter. 🐻

A mama black bear searched the shoreline for food while her two curious cubs watched from a nearby tree. Soon, they climbed down to join her, learning the ways of the wild along the rugged coast. 🐾🌲

A beautiful glimpse into a wild bear family—Mama teaching her cubs the ways of the shore, surrounded by the rugged beauty of Alberni-Clayoquot on Vancouver Island. 🌲🐾

Wild, wet, and wonderfully unforgettable. 💚

GRIZZLY BEARS

Meet two of Momma Bear’s three hungry cubs! 🐻🐻

After Momma headed up into the bushes, these two stayed behind at the river—and it was time to feast! 🐟

With the salmon running, the hungry cubs had plenty of motivation to explore the shallows and fill their bellies. A special glimpse into a wild family simply enjoying a meal together. 🌲🏔️

It’s so cool watching bottlenose dolphins riding the wake of the boat off the coast of San Clemente, California. 🐬

They are powerful, highly intelligent and can reach 12+ feet in length and weigh over 1,000 pounds, making their effortless leaps even more incredible to witness.
Known for their remarkable intelligence, complex social bonds, echolocation, and playful behavior, bottlenose dolphins are true athletes of the ocean.

Scientists believe dolphins breach for several reasons:

* Communication & social behavior
* Travel efficiency
* Hunting
* Orientation
* Play
* Removing parasites

There have been so many bottlenose dolphins cruising the waters off Laguna Beach, Dana Point, and San Clemente this past week! It’s always exciting to spot them, but watching them leap alongside the boat—and especially off the wake—is something truly special. 🐬💦

Double the cuteness! 🐬💕🐬

A sweet little nursery pod moment off the coast of Dana Point—two mom-and-calf pairs cruising by.

There’s just something extra special about watching these babies swim alongside their mamas. 💙

As we were returning from a whale-watching trip, we came across four young girls sitting on a paddle board bringing an injured gull to the Dana Point sheriffs Harbor Patrol dock. They were doing their best to help the bird and make sure it was safe.

We learned that the best place to bring an injured animal from the harbor was the Sheriff’s Harbor Patrol office, which handles incidents and wildlife injuries in the harbor. These young girls made sure the gull got there so it could receive the proper attention.

It was truly heartwarming to see four young people stop what they were doing to help an animal in need. ❤️ These are the moments that remind us how much kindness and compassion can make a difference.

Wetlands & Wildlife Care Center in Huntington Beach — this is a wildlife rehabilitation center that treats injured birds, including gulls. Their number is 714-374-5587.

Fin whale

Did you know this is the 2nd largest animal ever seen on the planet? Yep! They can reach 65-90 feet long 😮🤩

🐋 Very fast — can travel up to about 20–25 mph.
* 🌊 Follow food — change direction to find fish and krill.
* ↔️ Change course often — especially while feeding.
* ⬇️ Dive underwater — can resurface far from where they disappeared.
* 🌬️ Affected by currents — prey and water movement influence their path.
* 👀 Hard to spot — they surface briefly and can blend into waves yet because their spouts are typically about 20–26 feet
Believe it or not you may see it as far as away from about 2–5 miles 😮
