Seals & Dolphins

Harbor Seal

Harbor seals are not uncommon in the winter, but kayaking is, so don't expect to encounter them when you are out for a paddle.

Common Dolphin

On the other hand, the Common Dolphin prefers warmer weather, and can be seen all through kayaking season. They go south for the winter.

Double-Crested Cormorant

drying its feathers

This is a bird that you are almost guaranteed to see on any kayaking excursion. This is because they are very common, and not very waterproof. After diving underwater, they need to dry their sodden feathers in the sun, as the one above is doing. You can often get pretty close to them at these times.
