Young gray whale swims near the ocean floor. Gray Whale Migration: February 1, 2012 
Pacific gray whales are still southbound and, with record sightings, it looks like a bonanza year! At the end of the migration trail, baby whales are being born. This week's focus is those cut and curious one-ton babies. Soon their journey north will begin. Welcome to the monumental migration!

Welcome and Orientation 
In December, gray whales began arriving in the birthing lagoons of Mexico's Baja California coast. They migrated past the Pacific Coast in record-brekaing numbers! As we begin our reports in February, more whales will still be heading south than north, but that will change! Last spring was a good year after two years of lower counts; will the upward trend continue? Join us here on Feb. 1 for a new season of discoveries!
