4 Grays!!!
"Today was definitely a spring day! We weren't off the dock more than 15 mins. before we saw our first blow! Our passengers first glimpse at a gray whale was Patch, #49. He was feeding just SE of Hat Island in a shallow area. While watching Patch we notice 2 more whales toward the river delta feeding in the shallows. One of these whales was #22. They feed in such shallow water that as they went down to feed one of their pectoral flippers and half their flukes were above the surface. We headed out to Camano head and check on the mated pair of bald eagles watching over their nest. We had several harbor seals and a California sea lion checking us out as we watched the eagles. We headed back toward Everett where we encountered Patch with a fourth whale and than also the other 2 feeding again in the shallow. We also encountered a raft of about 300 western grebes, numerous rafts of surf scoters, cormorants, rhinoceros auklets and pigeon guillemots."-Naturalist Jami Nagel
