Gray Whale Coastal Ecosystems Research Foundation Photo ID Lesson by Dr. William Megill The real thing Did you find the match? Way to go! This is the first match based on flank pigmentation that's ever been made between the winter breeding grounds and the summer feeding grounds. It's really significant that the match came from the Cape Caution catalogue, since it confirms that the so-called Southern Residents, present in the Pacific Northwest every summer, do in fact migrate and presumably participate in the breeding with the rest of the population, which migrates to Alaskan waters every year.     Coastal Ecosystems Research Foundation Allison Harbour PO Box 124 Port Hardy, BC, Canada V0N 2P0 tel: (604) 202-9350 or 1-877-223-2373 (toll-free) fax: (815) 327-0183 email: info@cerf.bc.ca All photographs and graphics in this document © CERF 1995-2001.
