4-18-18 Busy With Whales

Wednesday, April 18th
...to wrap up the last encounter - 4-15-18 (previous post)...

...and into the next encounter with some of the same animals, today...April 18th...riding along on the Western Prince we once again encounter whales, the T123s and the T36As...there had been no word of the T65As or the T49As...
...Bonaparte's Gulls were thick in Boundary Pass, common for this time of year and to have the whales in the 'thick' of them too!

...they were heading toward East Pt. and the Strait of Georgia...

...someone located the T49As a few miles south of these whales and since we were heading back that way...

...another boat spotted a gray whale in the same direction as we were heading back to Friday Harbor...a quick look and pics to send to the gray whale researchers...

...I don't know much about gray whales, so that spot that has the arrow toward a possible wound, might not be a wound at all...
...what a day...now I had some good images of all of those juveniles from three of the four family groups from 4-15...lots of sorting to do to figure out all those youngsters!
