Description

Date Taken: April 9th, 2017
Vessel Name: San Juan Clipper 
Location: Saratoga Passage near Camano Head
Species: Gray Whale Eschrichtius robustus
Family Group: N/A
Individual(s): #21, #22 Earhart, & #53 Little Patch
Behavior: Surfacing
Notes: The weather on Sunday was a bit less breezy and sunnier than many previous trips which was a welcome change. Even nicer than the weather was our encounter with three gray whales traveling together along the southern shore of Camano Island! The three were adult female #22 Earhart followed by males #21 and #53 Little Patch. They swam very close to shore which made for some beautiful scenery behind the whales and a chance to see some nearshore birds like Bald Eagles and Common Loons while we waited for the whales' next surfacing!
