Migratory
Marathon
Traveling roundtrip between their frigid arctic feeding grounds and the

Annual Cycle," along with other permanent resources found here:

Gray Whale Migration
If
you're on the West Coast, we hope you'll help provide gray whale migration
data this spring. To follow the whales' trip to their northern feeding
grounds, we ask observers to report the following information:
-
Report the FIRSTnorthbound Gray Whale you

to Journey North! |
Date
of first sighting of northbound gray whales.
- Date
of first sighting of northbound gray whale mother/calf pairs.
