Cruise in midwinter
I organized Tomakomai cruise in February.
This cruise was held under weak wind although winter tended to be rough around these sea area in general.
But there was less appearance of sea birds as much as we expected.
Though there was a number of Least Auk, one of main target of this cruise, other auks we expected (Crested Auklet and Long-billed Murrelet) were not seen.
Black-throated Diver.
Fur seal.

Nice selection of birds from the sea! I also love the seals a lot. They're so cute.
