Gray Whale Sighted

Date: 03/01/2018

Number: 1

On a beautiful, sunny, and very warm March 1st one gray whale was observed for much of the day engaged in typical 'Sounder' feeding behavior in the Snohomish Delta just off Jetty Island, Everett. Two days later (March 3rd) 4 grays were in North Puget Sound including confirmed IDs for three; 53, 56, & 723. A 4th gray was feeding off Jetty Island as the known whales were well to the south off Possession Point. Again today, March 4th, an unidentified gray is in Possession Sound east of Hat/Gedney Island.

The small population of Gray whales known as the North Puget "Sounders" return each year to feast on ghost shrimp in the tidal flats primarily around Whidbey, Camano, and Hat/Gedney Islands, and along Everett and Tulalip.
