ACS/LA GRAY WHALE CENSUS UPDATE (10 DEC:) Three more GRAY WHALE singles! The first traveled in stealth mode, coming very close to shore. The second was a big adult gray whale that fluked frequently. It would blow 8-10 times at the surface between dives (more than usual); it lifted its head high out of the water twice – almost like a lunge. As we were watching this whale pass about a mile offshore, we found our third gray whale very close to shore: what a treat!
