April
12: Just wanted to let everyone know that we saw about
30 gray whales off Narrow Cape on Saturday. About 20 were definitely
migrating and the other 10 were milling around at the mouth of
Ugak Bay, Pasagshak Point area and might have been our residents.
Only adults were sighted, no calves. The gray whales are definitely
here! - Stacy Studebaker
April
8: FOUR gray whales — the first
this spring — were spotted and identified by Andy Finke on the north
end of Long
Island!
Many grays were reported seen off Pashagshak Point to Surger's
Beach near Narrow Cape. They're back! In more
exciting
news from April 8: a RARE
and exciting event happened when two humpback whales were
seen in the channel!
Other
kinds of whales are creating a lot of excitement as well. Orcas,
known here
as the Kodiak
Killers, return every year, and have been here
since early March.
It's
perfect timing for Kodiak's
Whalefest!
