Birds take flight into the rising sun over Anacapa Island. Sea birds are everywhere, especially during nesting season. But mind your step — gulls have been known to nest almost in the middle of a trail, and they’re very protective.(Spencer Weiner / Los Angeles Times)
A humpback whale shows off his aquatic acrobatic skills near Anacapa. The big boy kept propelling his 45-ton body out of the water, then slapping back down in backward somersaults. Between breaches, he took mini-breaks, rolling over on his back to expose his white underbelly, then waving his pectoral fins languorously at passengers on a ferry.(Spencer Weiner / Los Angeles Times)
A kayaker navigates around Arch Rock on the eastern end of Anacapa. The rocky, treeless shores have been eroded by wind and waves, creating towering sea cliffs, caves and natural bridges, including 40-foot-high Arch Rock, the symbol of Anacapa and the Channel Islands.(Spencer Weiner / Los Angeles Times)
