We continued our observations offshore today as we observed more north bound Grey Whale mother/calf pairs.

They stay so very near coastal in a desperate or cunning attempt to avoid interaction with predators. We came upon a particular pair this morning and we watched as mom and calf traveled slowly though our waters. The calf appeared to have more growth on its head than most and would rise to the surface in a laboring fashion.

This little mammal kept pace with mom however, and just kept moving along. We noticed in Edwards images today that the little calf seemed to have so much growth as to possibly obstruct its nostrils or blowholes.

Its breathing seemed labored and weak, but its will to survive was strong. Mom kept cautious eye over her precious cargo and made certain she slowed as her baby did.

I feel confident our pair will reach the finish line and our baby will live to make this journey many times over.

Till next time…
