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.
