Customer Reviews

Good reference if you're in Baja

If you're in Baja -- even on land and just looking out at the water -- you're likely to see whales. This is a good, basic identification guide. I'd recommend it, just probably not rave about it. Even though I got it in Alaska and it didn't cover ALL the animals I saw while in Baja (we lived on the Sea of Cortez for 6 years), another book that I found really helpful for identification was: Guide To Marine Mammals of Alaska, Third Edition Many of the whales that summer in Alaska winter in Baja, and the Alaska book provides good ways to distinguish between similar species. We particularly liked the information on whale blow patterns.

Great pictures/info

This booked helped with identifying marine mammals on our recent trip to Baja Mexico. Would definitely recommend!
