On 13 January, 2018, 24 gray whales were counted: 3 mother/calf pairs and 18 singles.

As the season progresses, gray whales will continue to migrate south, fill in the lagoons, and females will give birth to their calves and care for them in the lagoons. We’ll up with them in Laguna San Ignacio during out 2018 tours.

 

They’re heading south and the good volunteers with American Cetacean Society in Los Angeles, California are watching and counting them every day.
