A Heart Shaped Blow


"Today aboard the Island Explorer 3 our guests got a chance to visit with 3 Gray Whales!! The first whale we found were just inside Port Susan! This whale wanted to remain anonymous as he repeatedly made shallow dives making it difficult to photo identify. Mark, one of our senior crew, announced that he had spotted two blows just south of Camano Head!! We quickly turned south, with a stop off to our favorite Eagle's nest. On our way to more whales we encountered a raft of 200+ Western Grebes, 30+ Surf Scoters and as we came on scene with the 2 Gray Whales we became surrounded by 75 + Bonaparte's Gulls!! Our guests were able to capture some great photos of #22 & #56! We also saw on today's adventure: Bald Eagles, Pigeon Guillemots, Double-crested Cormorants, Harbor Seals, and California Sea Lions!!" - Naturalist Kate Janes
