12-14-14 Up the West Side In the Night

Sunday, December 14th
...it's 4 a.m. - "time to wake up!" it felt like the whales were saying, as they began coming over the Lime Kiln hydrophones...
...so many calls - WOW!! -yet it took a few minutes before being able to confirm who was present...J, K, and L!!
...how many and who...don't know...they were long gone to the north by daylight...

...now I think I know why they were heading west, fast late in the afternoon on the 12th (I wasn't present out there but I heard about it)...they had heard their friends out west I'd guess...they met up and decided to come in and go north...

...the whales were so loud on both Lime Kiln hydrophone and Orca Sound hydrophones for an hour...it seemed they would be close to shore, but I could only hear what sounded like a percussive and it was miles off shore...
...here's close to two minutes for your listening pleasure...times that by 30 and and that's what went on...
...spectacular...
...the whales need our help in getting wild salmon to 'their plates'...if you haven't already signed the Change.org petition please read my previous post...or click on the link in the upper right cornet of this blog:  Southern Resident Killer Whale Salmon Initiative - Endangered - Hungry - Dammed
...already signed the petition?...now share it with all you know who care about Chinook salmon, whales, fishing, the environment, the way of life in the Pacific Northwest, to name a few...
