IDENTIFYING WHALES BY SPOUT and FIN

ENVIRONMENT GOV AU: IDENTIFYING WHALES BY SPOUT and FIN

and how long they are under water.

This morning I saw spouting, and it seemed that either the whale was frequently doing so or there were more than one out there.  The water was chopping and they were maybe a mile away, but clearly there were spouts.  That it's grey whale migration time doesn't mean other whales are out there!

DOLPHINS FEEDING IN THE SEA KELP - WATCHING FOR WHALES

Though not in earnest, I've been looking over the sea cliff to see what I can see.  In the last week I met a couple people who said they saw migrating whales in the Pacific near enough to shore.  So I'm inspired to keep looking.

I think maybe I saw a small black whale or two feeding in the kept beds.  I'm pretty sure I wasn't seeing a skin diver in a black wet suit because of the arch of back.  But to identify these would be impossible, just to say the black was black.

This morning - a small pod of dolphins - grey - and the cry of a single sea lion.
