First of the Season



Friday on my way to work, I was a little early. I stopped at the Airport Park to roll down the windows, breathe a little fresh air, and soak in some sunshine before I stepped into the grey warehouse. I noticed the tide in Cook Inlet was a bit high and on the way out. I was looking at the ice floes booking along, when I noticed a few of the ice floes were rhythmically surfacing to breathe. YIPPY!!!! My first Belugas of the season. They are hard to see here, Zoey and I have spotted at least three. The easiest one to spot happens at about 31 seconds in, about halfway up the screen on the right. Enjoy!

  4. Gee, Trixie. You know, sometimes I feel you are living in a faraway, distant country. Alaska is some place. I love it - minus the 60 inches of snow each year.

  5. Belugas are certainly one thing that we don't have in PA. How great that you were able to video them.

  7. I bet you're never sad to see that ice leaving! That's so neat that whale-watching can be part of your daily routine!
