#723 Puts On a Show to Remember!!
"In the midst of crew introductions a juvenile Bald Eagle flew right over our guests standing dockside!! While still in the marina we slowly passed by Jetty Island where we found 5 more juvenile Bald Eagles & 3 mature Bald Eagles soaking up the sunshine, but they took a backseat to the Gray Whale we watched feed on the other side of the island! He was chowing down exposing a partial fluke and a pectoral fin at the surface as he sat in very shallow water! Later on during the trip we introduced our passengers to Patch, #49, as he was heading southbound towards the Snohomish River Delta where #723 was leaving from! We ventured over to visit with the giant as he speedly went towards Gedney Island lifting his fluke every 3rd or 4th surfacing! We got some great looks and he did as well as he spyhopped not once but twice exposing his eyes at the surface looking right at us!! What an amazing day!! First spyhop of the 2009 season on a day that could pass for a day in June!!" -Naturalist Kate Janes
