Trudy, you just missed the Oregon annual whale watch that's starting up now. They said it draws around 10,000 people to the coast to watch the whales migrate to Alaska, 400 of those are counters.

I was fortunate enough to be in California one year at the right time to see part of the whale migration. It was impressive. Hope to do that again one day.

I know I'm missing it !! I did volunteer for one day of Whale watching week in December when they're heading south - didn't see any whales that day. They're suppose to be lots easier to see in the Spring.
Are you going to the coast ??
Whales are so cool :D

I was in Oregon at this time of the year, in a cabin on a hill right on the coast at Otis. The number of whales going past the shore was dumbfounding back in the 60s. I was glued to the windows with my binoculars, as I, as an east coaster, had never seen even one live, free whale. Gloucester whalers had pretty much wiped all of ours out. It's an experience I won't forget.

Are these blue, sperms? I know the orcas don't return for a while yet.

I believe these are the greys. I have been lucky enough to catch a glimpse of an occasional one in the Westport, WA area and in the Puget Sound. Fantastic animals.
