Jack Johnson's Biggest Fans!!
Two Gray Whales Drawn to the MusicPhoto by Naturalist Kate Janes
"Today's blue skies brought all member's of our welcoming committee out!! Both Norman, the Harbor Seal, and our Mallard friends made an appearance dockside prior to our departure!! Just south of Gedney Island Captain Carl found what appeared to be a lone porpoise! This individual gave us some looks before disappearing towards two Gray Whales!! Patch, #49, was enjoying the company of # 383 as they fed off the south end of Gedney Island. We watched as they zigged and zagged along the shelf feeding on ghost shrimp! It wasn't long before they began moving northward towards two more whales!!! At one point #22 appeared out of the watery depths just a few feet away from 4 Surf Scoters!! The birds continued on their way not seeming to notice or rather mind the arrival of the graceful giant!! Later in our journey after visiting with Bald Eagles, Western Grebes, California Sea Lions, Harbor Seals, and Rhinoceros Auklets we caught up with the 4 Gray Whales right where we left them! Knowing that some species of whales become rather inquisitive when music is played, we decided to perform our own musical experiment! Just as Jack Johnson's voice came through the speakers the two whales began swimming towards us!! With our engines already off we just sat back and enjoyed the company of apparently Jack Johnson's biggest fans!!" - Naturalist Kate Janes
