| We went out to Bay Bulls one day to go on O'Brien's Tours, a boat ride to Bird Island and through some bays where the whales were commonly seen. This was a particularly good time to see the whales since the capelin were hatching and all the whales in the Atlantic drop by for a snack. | ||
| Michael was our guide and racconteur for the trip. | |
| Lighthouse at the entrance to Bay Bulls. | |
| Shoreline just outside Bay Bulls. | |
| It wasn't all that cold, but it was a little damp and definitely windy. | |
| Here are the birds we saw along the way and at Bird Island. | ||

| Lined up on the Rocks | |
| And of course we saw whales too. | ||
| We have a Humpback tail and the spout of a friend. | |
| I think this is a Humpback, looks too big for a Minke. | |
| This is a Minke near Bird Island. | |
| Another Minke. | |
| And one more Minke (they're a little more common than Humpbacks!). | |
| And another Humpback tail to wave good-bye as we head back to port. |
