About
Observation Post #16
Kodiak Island, Alaska
The
first returning adult males can arrive in mid to late March.
Mother/calf pairs normally return in mid May and keep coming
into July. People
on scenic Kodiak Island in the Gulf of Alaska are privileged
to
have nearly all of the Eastern Pacific Gray Whale population
pass by on their journey north. Many grays remain around Kodiak
until the
time comes to migrate south again, while others continue further
north. Kodiak holds a Whale Fest
to celebrate the whales' return each spring. Among our reporters
are Kodiak 4th graders as well as researchers Kate
Wynne and Bree Witteveen.
