Feeding frenzy with Brown boobies (Sula leucogaster), Brown pelicans, adult and juvenile Heermann's gulls, Baja, Mexico
The Sea of Cortez, especially in the area near Loreto, is an exceptionally rich marine environment with blue whales, fin whales, humpback whales, huge manta rays, dolphins and a rich bird life. The marine life is fed by a rich plankton population, and when huge swarms of tiny pink krill accumulate near the water's surface it starts a feeding frenzy, with everything from tiny herring to large whales getting in on the action.
