Whale sightings as of April 6th

Whale sightings as of 4/6/2009

We had a report of killer whales in Monashka Bay on April 5th at about 8:00.
Dr. Jeremy Larsen reported seeing one large male very near to shore and 5 or 6 others across the bay.
Not sure if these were the Kodiak Killers or not, but if so, maybe this means a channel visit soon!

I also had a report of several spouts seen off Pasagshak Beach. These are likely gray whales and could be either migrants or part of our "resident" population.

Kate Wynne and I were scheduled to fly an aerial survey yesterday afternoon but had to postpone due to weather. Once we are able to take to the air, I will report on what we see!

Keep those sightings coming....
