WHALE WATCHING
Click here for video of the Killer
Whales we saw on 1/3/12! Gray Whale season is here and will run
through the end of April! Each October, after spending the summer feeding
in the food-rich waters of the arctic, and as the northern ice pushes
southward, small groups of Gray Whales start their 16,000 - 20,000 mile
journey (the longest migration of any mammal). The Grays swim south along
the coast to the bays of Baja California, where they give birth to their
calves. Along the way BOTH southbound and northbound, they pass right
Dana Point, a landmark for the whales along their route, where you can
witness the annual winter journey. We saw 277 Gray Whales last season!
Here's
a great article on the Gray Whale migration in the OC Register!
