Sometimes Hard to See
"Hey, it IS a whale," exclaims Michael Smith at Post #7. "Moments later the calf surfaced. After being so steath, they were all over the place for the next hour as we watched them pass."

Do you think this delightful pair would have been seen and counted if the wind was whipping up waves? If the air was hazy or foggy? Whales travel 24/7, but observers aren't always there to see them. Observation quality isn't always good. Seeing them is a thrill!
