GRAY WHALE CENSUS UPDATE: Dec 4: Four GRAYS, ORCA megapod! All of our gray whales came very close to shore; all fluked. First we spotted a pod of two gray whales: one adult and one juvenile. Our northbound gray was also a juvenile; occasionally we see northbound grays at this time of the year. A HUMPBACK WHALE breached seven times! MYSTERY MEGAPOD: at 2:30 pm we spotted lots of whale blows about five miles offshore; we watched them for nearly three hours: over 30 ORCAS! They traveled in subgroups spread out over a wide area and moved further off shore, so they were difficult to track. We also spotted COMMON DOLPHIN and RISSO’S DOLPHIN.
Southbound grays today: 3
Northbound grays today: 1
Total grays today: 4
