GRAY WHALE CENSUS UPDATE: 13 DEC (PVIC). NINE GRAY WHALES TODAY! Six adult gray whales paraded by us within a two hour time span; at one point we had five gray whales in sight! Most passed within a half mile of us; we could hear the blows on four sightings. It was challenging to track them because some whales swam faster and passed up the earlier sightings; then two sightings joined up and continued swimming together. Whales in six of our nine sightings fluked. We also spotted COMMON DOLPHIN and BOTTLENOSE DOLPHIN. Check out our daily counts: http://www.acs-la.org/daily.htm
Today: Southbound gray whales: 9

Total gray whales: 9
