Description
The only member of the family Eschrichtiidae, the gray whale is a mysticete, or baleen whale. It is a 'coastal' whale that migrates along the North American Pacific Coast between arctic seas and the lagoons of Baja California, Mexico. Frequently visible from shore, gray whales provide a unique opportunity for land and boat observation, and commercial whale watching has become a major industry along its migration route. Visitors to the calving and breeding lagoons sometimes encounter the phenomenon of the 'friendlies'; gray whales that closely approach small boats and allow themselves to be touched by humans.

Amazing capture! Is that a calf by its side?
Kristina Rinell replied:
Thanks, Belinda .... yes, tried to get them both above the surface but they didn't agree :-)
