http://www.socalbirding.com    Dave Povey, Peter Ginsburg,  Tom Blackman and Terry Hunefeld motored from San Diego harbor to the Nine Mile Bank about 14 miles offshore.  Up on the east side of the "bank" we encountered enormous "bait boils" of bait fish gorging on millions and millions of krill, tiny crustaceans that are savored by baleen whales, Cassin's Auklets and bait fish.  We released a Black-footed Albatross on behalf of Project Wildlife, but it couldn't get it's feathers aligned so we brought it back for more rehab.  We encountered close Blue Whales (probably 2) and Minke Whales (probably 3), a record high count of 54 Brown Boobies and an American Oystercatcher on the Coronados Islands and krill -- lots and lots of krill.
