Humpback and Gray Whales on Today's Tour!!
Wow! A Humpback Whale in May? You never know what nature will show you each day!! Stay tuned to the Whale Report for details on the sighting of two species of whales from Naturalist Jami Nagel! "Our 11 am trip we headed out finding our first gray whale feeding in the river delta just east of Hat Island. We watched him feed for awhile and then headed to the south end of Whidbey Island. That is where we encountered a juvenille Humpback whale!! We had our first double header (2 diffent types of whales) of the season! The humpback was feeding in a tide line just SE of Whidbey. We also saw bald eagles, western grebes, harbor seals, California sea lions and a large raft of Pacific Loons!" " Our evening trip was treated to some sunshine and 3 gray whales! The first 2 were in shore just north of Everett. We watched them for awhile then headed north to our third whale in Tulalip bay just off Port Susan. After leaving this whale we headed over and checked out several bald eagles and the eagles nest at the south end of Camano Island. As we headed back toward Everett we encountered our fourth Gray whale, #49 Patch. "
