Yesterday, after spending some time with sleepy Spoon and her calf, we began to investigate other blows in the area. As soon as we started to move away from the pair, the calf breached twice!! A little later on, Spoon and her calf moved into the area with 3 other humpback whales including Hornbill! The calf breached yet again while Spoon began flipper-slapping over and over! Hornbill was moving around a bit, changing directions constantly. Our fish finder showed LOTS of bait fish around us. Minke whales were in the area and even a sleeping harbor seal was seen. Harbor porpoises were spotted briefly on the way to and from the whales. Activity continues into the fall!!
