TOO MANY WHALES-Census Report: February 4, 2014

Gray Whale Census Report #4

February 3, 2014
San Ignacio Lagoon, Baja California Sur, Mexico
At Campo Cortez


WOW!! this is the very best season on record in all our census collecting years. It should be remarkable to see what will happen in mid March when we normally top out around 300 whales....will we have 400 whales? Only time will tell.

Here is something to reflect upon:
Feb. 10, 2011:  177 total whales
Feb. 07, 2012:  125 total whales
Feb. 03, 2013:  184 total whales


Official Census from the Biosphere Reserve at San Ignacio Lagoon

Census taken: February 3, 2014

Gray Whale Calves:  115
Gray Whale Adults:  197
Total Gray Whales:  312
