Northbound Whales Already Spotted on Oregon Coast as Whale Week Approaches


Northbound Whales Already Spotted on Oregon Coast as Whale Week Approaches: "(Depoe Bay, Oregon) – March 22 through 29 brings the big whale watch week for the Oregon coast, as thousands of whales begin making their way north on a massive exodus from the waters off Mexico. Many have given birth down south, so there could be plenty of baby whales to gawk at, conditions willing.

Hosted by Oregon State Parks and Recreation Department, the spring Whale Watch Week coincides with spring break and features volunteers perched at dozens of high spots along the Oregon coast, helping tourists and science buffs spot the gargantuan creatures on their journey northward."
