Gray Whales already travelling north


Yesterday was the "turn around" day for gray whales. In the morning there were whales travelling south and I was wondering if the turn around day would be earlier this year.

It is usually one day for the next when it happens...all of a sudden, whales are heading north. Well, yesterday as I was practising my accordian at the beach, I was surprised to see all whales had turned and were heading north...with a vengence too...they were bookin it. There were whales all over the place...very very close to shore, a half mile out and as far out as the eye could see...probably a dozen at any one time...no mom's and calves....must have been a big party somewhere for so many to travel in one afternoon...maybe the 7 sisters?

I suspect hat the whales heading North are the ones you saw coming South in early-to mid-December, Shari.:?:

You have seen them more than I, therefore you would have the better intuition.:yes:
