Sing “Migration” as we meet the baby gray whales in San Ignacio Lagoon!

Dear Friends,

      Great news!  My whale watch captain friends tell me that there have been sightings of more than 800 calves of Eastern Gray Whales (aka the California Gray Whales) this season. This means the population of this once-critically endangered animal continues to grow strong!  Celebrate Gray Whale migration season with me by immersing yourself in this fun and moving music video about our gray whale encounters in Baja, Mexico as well as by watching the  videos listed below. 

      You can also learn more about this fascinating history of the “friendly” behavior of gray whales in San Ignacio Lagoon in this article by Paula McDonald.

MORE GRAY WHALE VIDEOS:

• “Migration” – Our gray whale song video, with clips from some of our earliest live performances.
• Watch a Baby Gray Whale interact with kids in Baja, Mexico.
• Watch Twin Gray Whale Calves with their mother.
• Watch a Migrating Gray Whale play with dolphins.

      I’d like to end this post with a huge thank you to the people of Baja, Mexico and to gray whale advocates everywhere for your commitment to the protection of these magnificent creatures. I’ll be hanging out on the California coast as much as possible this month, thinking of you, and singing to the spouting gray whales as they make their annual journey from the lagoons of Baja, Mexico to the cold summer seas of Alaska, USA. Perhaps I’ll see you there! 
With love,
