Although the ocean conditions were rough on the east coast, we decided to find out if the melon-headed whales were in the same place we have found them the last two mornings. They were there, and again a group of spinner dolphins were part of the mixed aggregation. After spending a few hours with them collecting photo IDs and biopsies, we headed offshore along the west coast where the conditions were better. About 12 km offshore we encountered a fast traveling group of spinner dolphins. We estimated there to be over 100 individuals in the group. We were not able to collect biopsy samples of these animals because they never came near the boat. After leaving them, and continuing our transects we encountered a group of pilot whales. While collecting biopsy and photo IDs, a group of Risso\u2019s dolphins moved through the group fairly quickly. We were not able to approach them to collect biopsies, but collected photo IDs of the 4 individuals.\u00a0 All in all a productive day, and it was nice to find animals offshore, including a new species for our expedition, Risso\u2019s dolphins. However, we are still searching for the rough-toothed dolphins\u2026\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Malgr\u00e9 une mer agit\u00e9e sur la c\u00f4te Est, nous avons voulu voir si les p\u00e9ponoc\u00e9phales se trouvaient encore au m\u00eame endroit que l\u00e0 o\u00f9 nous les avons observ\u00e9s ces deux derniers jours. Et ils \u00e9taient bien l\u00e0\u00a0! Un petit groupe de dauphins \u00e0 long bec \u00e9tait \u00e9galement de la partie, m\u00e9lang\u00e9 aux p\u00e9ponoc\u00e9phales. Apr\u00e8s environ deux heures pass\u00e9es avec ce groupe \u00e0 collecter des photos et des biopsies, nous nous sommes dirig\u00e9s vers le large, \u00e0 l\u2019Ouest de l\u2019\u00eele o\u00f9 la mer \u00e9tait plut\u00f4t calme.\u00a0 A environ 12km de la c\u00f4te, nous sommes tomb\u00e9s sur un grand groupe de dauphins \u00e0 long bec (plus de 100), se d\u00e9pla\u00e7ant \u00e0 grande vitesse. Malheureusement nous n\u2019avons jamais pu les approcher et donc aucune biopsie n\u2019a pu \u00eatre obtenue. Peu apr\u00e8s avoir quitt\u00e9 ce groupe, ce sont des globic\u00e9phales tropicaux que nous avons vu. Et alors que nous travaillions sur ces animaux, un petit groupe de dauphins de Risso est pass\u00e9 par l\u00e0 mais assez rapidement et nous n\u2019avons pas pu les approcher. Quelques photos ont cependant pu \u00eatre prises. Au final ce fut une bonne journ\u00e9e, assez productive et avec une nouvelle esp\u00e8ce au compteur de cette mission, le dauphin de Risso.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
