Whale Watching Report

Naturalist Bart Rulon reports:It was another great day on the water! We were greeted by 2 California Sea Lions hanging out on the Green Markers around Jetty Island. NW of Jetty Island we found 2 Gray Whales (Patch #49 and #22 )  feeding and rolling around in shallow water which allowed us to see their pectoral fins and their beautiful flukes. We  headed North to Camano Island where we saw an Eagle perched above it's nest. We headed back toward the whales and were lucky to find a group of 4 gray whales feeding together, this time they let us have a look at their faces. While we were watching the whales an Eagle flew low and close to the bow of the boat... Twice!!
