Six Gray Whales Seen!

"Right off the bat we found our first two Gray Whales just outside the marina! This gave our guests a taste of what was to come as we continued on towards a shallow bank at the south end of Gedney Island. There we found our old friend Patch, #49, who was moving slowly along the bank giving us great looks at his dorsal ridge and even exposing the large patch on his right side!! Just before departing Patch made a deep dive lifting his fluke out of the water as he began to turn to his side in order to start feeding at the bottom!! We continued northward towards the north end of Gedney where we found Dubnuck, #44, #21, & #53 cutting their own grid of Gedney's northern bank before peeling off towards Langley! It was yet another great day out on the water with not only 6 fantastic Gray Whales, but also California Sea Lions, Cormorants, Pigeon Guillemots, White-winged Scoters, Surf Scoters, Bald Eagles, and Gulls!" - Naturalist Kate Janes
