33 Tours in a Row with Gray Whales!
100% success for whale sightings in 2008! Stay tuned to the Whale Report for a field report from Naturalist Jami Nagel! "We started our trip with 5 bald eagles on Jetty Island and our 2 California sealions on the green marker. It wasn't long before we encountered our first Gray Whale, #22 at the south end of Hat Island. Just east of Hat Island we saw blows and headed for 2 more Gray's, #49 Patch and #383. We stayed with them for awhile getting some great fluke shots!! We next headed to the south end of Camano Island were we saw the eagle nest with both eagles present. One of them flew over the boat giving us a great sense of just how big they are!! There were several Common Loons around us also. After leaving we headed back toward Hat Island were we encountered our 4th Gray whale, #44 (we nicknamed him Adam). As we appoarched he spyhopped giving us full view of his head! We also saw red-necked and western grebes, surf scoters, osprey and numerous harbor seals!"
