The midriff region of the Gulf of California is an area of strong currents and high productivity, where elegant terns and Heermann’s gulls are gathering by the thousands at the start of their breeding season.  We watched bottlenose dolphins and a humpback whale before going to Bahia de los Angeles to walk among boojums – curious desert trees that resemble upside down carrots, and look as if they were conjured up by Dr. Seuss.
