It's always fun to see whale spouts on the ocean. John Crowell saw three spouts from the bluffs at The Sea Ranch, most likely Gray Whales.

The first mother/calf pairs of Gray Whales are slowly passing by our coast, swimming about three miles per hour. Many, many more to come in the weeks ahead, as there are a lot of calves still in the lagoons of Baja California.

Thanks to John for allowing me to share his photo with you here. We are having a warm, breezy day here on the Mendonoma coast today. Blue skies abound!
