About Observation Post #14
Richmond, British Columbia

(49.22N, -123.10W)

Just outside Vancouver, the first gray whale sightings occur in early April but other whales get there first: These are the southern resident killer whales (orcas). People here may see some gray whales that do divert off the main migration route on the outer west coast and around the southern tip of Vancouver Island. The whales spend time in the waters of Georgia Strait and the mouth of the Fraser River. Journey North reports news whenever it comes in from the crew and captains of whale-watch excursions.
