GRAY WHALE CENSUS UPDATE: 7 Dec: Our first gray whale was a small one that fluked, coming within a mile of shore. A pair of grays came close to shore and joined with a pod of Pacific white-sided dolphin; the whales rolled and displayed their pectoral fins, while the dolphin jumped all around the whales! We also spotted common dolphin and some acrobatic bottlenose dolphin. We battled rain and finished the day with high winds, making it difficult to spot and track sightings. -Alisa
