Deepwater Disco (Whale Call Instrumental)
I made this instrumental based on a 4 minute snippet of whale calls. I love the way it turned out, and hope you will too 🙂

Whale Spotting App?
Hi everyone, I have been trying to find a current and working whale spotting app that works with a Pixel 7. I used to have a few old apps a few years ago and none of them are around or working anymore.
I would really like to be able to check where whales have been spotted lately and go film them with live or recently updated info.
If anyone can point me to their favourite app, that would be much appreciated. Thank you.

Whale identifiation
I spotted this guy 6 miles off the coast of Miami. I’ve never seen a whale out here. Any idea what kind it is?

Saw a whale from the air near Seaside OR today in shallow water stirring up mud. It was upside down most of the time thrashing around. What would it have been doing?

A baby grey whale a friend met near Roche Harbor on San Juan Island
I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw the video, and he was kind enough to let me post it. What a playful little calf!
