As expected based on the cooling trend in the water and abundance of food in the Pacific Ocean—a “La Nina” trend…..we are experiencing one of the largest Gray Whale Migrations we have seen on record since 1997 when we began taking census data. This is quite amazing and i can tell you that it is pure eye candy to see so many whales.
