Humpback Sounds In the Night

Monday, November 19th

...while Ts were going down Rosario, coming in Juan de Fuca-up Haro-and to the north, and J Pod was down in the 'big water' slowly heading west toward Race Rocks...well, that was in the daylight...
...but how about the night?  It was close to the end of the 19th, when a humpback whale 'showed up' on the Lime Kiln hydrophones for more than a half hour...
...here's a short clip of the sounds he made...

...in the busy, fast paced world of today, a question:
Did you listen to the whole 2+ minutes?
...if so, what did it bring up for you?
...for me - a smile, slowing down the pace, being peaceful, being grateful to have these humpbacks returning to the Salish Sea where they once roamed in great numbers...and most of all it gave me pause...

-being thankful to be able to hear the sounds of the sea.

If you didn't listen to the whole 2+ minutes, what is it that took you away from hearing this being of the sea?
