1-19-12 They're Here...Somewhere That Is!

Thursday, January 19th

...6:59 a.m. whales on the Lime Kiln hydrophones!

...their calls lasted only 30 seconds and were very faint...
...don't know if they were inbound or outbound...'assuming' inbound...

...all I know is that I heard J pod calls...
...you may need to turn your volume way up...the whales were rather far away!



...this time of year it is common for them to come in and go down into Puget Sound...last year they did come up this way a few times in January and even more times in February and March...

...I was expecting to hear them on the Port Townsend hydrophones, but so far 2:00pm, I haven't...it's not uncommon for them to pass there undetected...

...they may show up on the Port Townsend hps...sometime this afternoon...but I really don't know...
...of course, if they were outbound at 7am, then they are long gone by now...
