Over break, I went on a fantastic gray whale survey...and for the first time sighted some whales here on the West Coast. I don't have pics of that though...they were miles and miles away...but I DO have pictures of our survey sites and everyone that went. Sarah Gaffney was visiting from Maine and came along to see what we all do for fun around here. Haha...well, 1 full credit of fun, that is. Here's our view from Point St. George, just north of Crescent City...




Here we were surveying from the Crescent City Oceanview...where my first siting occurred. Exciting!



Next we moved to the Klamath River Overlook...there were people doing traditional fishing, and we saw a gray whale in the last 5 minutes of our survey, so we had to stick around an extra half hour to observe it.
