ACS/LA GRAY WHALE CENSUS UPDATE: 12 DEC (PVIC). SIX GRAY WHALES: BIG POD! We watched this group of large adults for two hours! They came close to shore and fluked frequently; one even BREACHED! They rolled, swam in a zig-zag pattern, milled in a tight group near our transect, and crossed the transect twice. A whalewatch boat got on this sighting; they made the local KTLA news! Three FIN WHALES foraged out toward the Redondo Canyon. A MINKE WHALE swam away from where the FIN WHALES were foraging. We also spotted three pods of COMMON DOLPHIN. Our day ended with a green flash. -Alisa
