Birdsong meets another blue whale! Watch it spout and dive in our new video!

Birdsong meets a Blue Whale – Watch this amazing video.

Dear Whale-Loving Friends,

I had another blue whale sighting while I was a Naturalist on the Nautilus with Newport Landing Whale Watching on June 3. I was in the company of more than fifty 9th graders from  Magnolia Science Academy. The students kept me on my toes with some great questions about whales and marine life. There were also families with young children on the boat. Many had never been on the ocean before. Most had never seen a whale. You can hear their squeals in this video. It was an exciting ride with many opportunities for education, discussion and awe! 

The blue whale kept us in its company for quite a while and showed us its fluke on three deep dives. Two of the ninth graders want to join the American Cetacean Society and left with information! Thank you to Captain Robbie and crew of the Nautilus and to our beloved ocean for these opportunities to connect with these amazing creatures!

Be sure to watch this video to the end if you want to see big Blue’s tail 🙂 And if you’d like to learn more about the world’s largest animal, check out our music video, “So Big! Blue Whale!” featuring our song by the same name.

Sending a whale tail splash to you,
