Mexico 2026: Humpback Whales, Cabo San Lucas (Continued):
The undisputed star of the show during my third morning of whale watching in the waters around Cabo San Lucas, was a Humpback Whale calf that was practicing breaching as its mother looked on nearby.
The calf put on a great show, repeatedly launching itself out of the water!
Here are several of my favorite images of this terrific display.
Enjoy!

Humpback Whales, Cabo San Lucas:
Each year, from November through April, large numbers of Humpback Whales gather in the waters of the Sea of Cortez and the Eastern Pacific Ocean around Cabo San Lucas, to give birth and to mate.
Consequently, I have scheduled my trips to Baja California Sur during these Winter months, in order to have the opportunity to observe and photograph the surface activities of the whales.
I spent four mornings out on the waters around Cabo San Lucas, in a “water taxi” ably operated by Captain Hector, looking for whales.
I was not disappointed!
There were many whales around, and a lot of surface activities!
Here are several Humpback Whale images from my first two mornings of whale watching:
Humpback Whale Breaching; Humpback Whale Fluke; Humpback Whale Spy Hopping; two Humpback Whales cruising; two more photos of Humpback Whale Flukes; a pair of “rowdy” male Humpback Whales going at it; and a shot of another Humpback Whale Fluke.
Enjoy!

From January 18th through February 7th, I was in Mexico for a fabulous trip!
I spent a total of five days in and around Cabo San Lucas, located in Baja California Sur, and two weeks scuba diving in the Socorro Islands (a.k.a. The Revillagigedo Archipelago).
I plan to post selected images from this trip over the next few weeks.
Today, I’d like to start off by sharing several images of birds from in and around Cabo San Lucas:
A trio of Brandt’s Cormorants; Cactus Wren; Osprey; Gull; House Finch; a couple of photos of Brown Pelicans; House Sparrow; and a Snowy Egret.
Enjoy!
