4 Gray Whales Sighted Today

Our guests watched gray whales in clam water near Langley today, making us 7 of 7 tours for this season. "Under a blanket of gray we spotted the white exhalations from 4 Gray Whales in the distance. In the waters of Saratoga Passage we found Gray Whale #22, #21 and one unidentified whale that didn't expose its back enough to be identified. The three whales swam slowly across the channel towards Camano Island and one unexpectedly on a couple of surfacing really brought its rostrum high out of the water exposing its large eye!! Further south near Gedney Island we found our old friend Patch, #49, feeding solo. In the midst of the trip the liquid sunshine gave way to actual sunshine! We also saw on the trip: Western Grebes, California Sea Lions, Harbor Seals, Cormorants, and Pigeon Guillemots!" - Naturalist Kate Janes
