Wildlife

On our trip we saw lots of wildlife:
Lots of birds...duh
Whales! Oh....wait you can't see them either....same here-but apparently they are out there.
Seals, sea lions, and otters....oh my!
Elk heard(apparently the largest one??-that's what the signs told me)
Oh, what do we have here?
a big..
Momma whale!!!
So I am standing on a bridge over a river here-the whale and it's baby were supposedly trying to get away from killer whales (dang them) when the went up the river from the ocean-the baby got back to the ocean but the tide went down and the momma got stuck (she had been there for 3 months when we saw her!).....sadly she got beached and died 2 weeks ago:(
