Gray Whale #53 Close to Marina!!
"Our first stop on today's journey was to visit at a navigational marker that was providing the perfect haul-out location for a juvenile California Sea Lion! Just moments later Captain Michael spotted two Gray Whales making their way south in our direction!! The two gentle giants (#53 and a friend we were unable to get a clear photo for identification) made their way to the Snohomish River Delta. After a brief visit to the delta #53 peeled off and made his way towards the south end of Gedney Island allowing our guests the opportunity to hear his exhalations! As we enjoyed the warmest day of 2009 thus far we also enjoyed a chorus of Western Grebes croaking in a huge raft, curious Harbor Seals, an immature Bald Eagle perched on the Snohomish River day marker, Surf Scoters and a California Sea Lion who seemed to be enjoying the beautiful day as much as we were as he floated at the surface with half of his flipper out of the water!!" - Naturalist Kate Janes
