One Fast Moving Gray Whale!

Gray Whale #383Photo by Naturalist Kate Janes
"Today we found two Gray Whales in two different locations; reinforcing the notion that everyday and every trip is different! We found #383 first off the north end of Gedney Island and followed him north just off Camano Head!! After a great introduction to Gray Whales we continued north up Saratoga Passage where we found #44 cruising mid-channel at quite a good speed! His consistent respiration rates and route allowed our guests some great photo opportunities! Every fifth breath produced a deep dive where he showed off his fluke cascading water as he gracefully re-enter the water! Our time unfortunately had to come to an end and as we ventured back towards the dock we visited with a pair of Bald Eagles, a raft of 300+ sleeping Western Grebes, Harbor Seals, Brandt's Cormorants, Rhinoceros Auklets, a rare sighting of Brandt's Geese, Bonaparte's Gulls, and ended our trip with a couple of hauled-out California Sea Lions!!" - Naturalist Kate Janes
