Welcome and Orientation 
In December, gray whales began arriving in the sheltered birthing lagoons of Mexico's Baja California coast. As we begin our spring reports in February, more whales will still be heading south than north, but not for long! Spring 2012 was a record-breaking year after two years of lower calf counts; will the upward trend continue in 2013? Join us here on Feb. 5 for a new season of discoveries! Photo Keith Jones
