Gray Whales near Langley!!
Naturalist Kate Janes reports from aboard the Island Explorer 3: "Gray skies melted away to blue as our trip got underway! Prior to heading north up Saratoga Passage we visited with some lounging California Sea Lions, enjoyed a fly-by of a couple of Pigeon Guillemots, and saw a raft of a dozen Barrow's Goldeneyes!! Our binoculars were out searching for the exhalations from Gray Whales as our quest took us up to Langley were we found #531 & #49! Yet again our passenger's enjoyed the aroma of the Gray Whales breath!! Captain Shane did give our noses a break and positioned us up-wind from the whales!! Patch, #49, gave us some great looks as he showed off his white patch and even fluked giving all on board a bit of good luck!! Throughout our adventure we saw Western Grebes, Glaucous-winged Gulls, Harbor Seals, Canada Geese, Mallards, and both Pelagic and Brandt's Cormorants!!" Our next trips out of Everett are at 11 am on March 20th, 22nd, 23rd, 25th, 27th, 29th and 30th!
