Paul Brewer recently photographed this Gray Whale calf spyhopping.

You can see the calf's mother on the left side of Paul's photo. Spyhopping is when a whale comes out of the water vertically, seemingly taking a look around. Maybe the calf was taking at look at the Brewers! These Grays are headed northward to their feeding grounds in the Arctic.

Thanks to Paul for allowing me to share his photo with you here. To see much more of Paul's nature photography, here is his website: http://www.capturingnatureswonders.com/

We are having cool weather with a high fog today. Warmer weather is to return next week.

A very pregnant Doe was photographed by Drew Fagan this week, a lady in waiting.

And, sure enough, a report of the first wobbly fawns has come in. No photos yet, but I'll share some with you. Time to slow down on the highway! Fawns follow their mothers across busy roads.

We are having a cool day, fog and then sunshine. Several mother/calf Gray Whales have passed our portion of the coast. Six pairs were seen yesterday off Bodega Bay. They are, of course, headed north.
