Have you noticed that there are leaves turning colour? I could easily see the difference in the Sumacs between last Saturday and yesterday. Tuesday is the official start of astronomical Autumn at 9:30am EDT.
We're in September so we're in whale season.
If we were in Australia, we'd be familiar with the whales migrating to Antarctica. There is a "whale highway" and the drone footage is HERE. This is by far the best footage of whales that I've seen. I could go for a whale tv channel. One of the whales referenced is a subadult.
That's what one of the not-quite-mature whales is called in the video. A subadult: perhaps that is something we should consider for humans more explicitly. The definition of subadult does include humans - those who have passed through the juvenile period but not yet attained typical adult characteristics. But then, we would have to come to agreement on adult characteritistics...
Whales are migrating on the North American Pacific coast. What about the Wild Ocean Whale Society Live Stream HERE. It live streams from Powell River. It is very dark there now at 3:10am. We can't tell if this might be something interesting like the Australia footage.
We can see the written reports - the Vancouver Island Whale Watch had the September 16th sighting of two humpback whales - mother and son. Find out everyone's name HERE.
Going further south, on September 12th, there were humpback whales throughout Monterery Bay, ocean birds, great white stars and dolphins at the harbour mouth. You can see HERE that there is something to watch every weekend.
One can get the app to stay up-to-date on the latest sightings of whales and dolphins. I was looking at the Hawaii sighting map HERE. You can set a date range and see what's been spotted. This is sponsored by the Pacific Whale Foundation.
Would you like to see one year of whale watching around the world in one infographic? Go HEREto download the 2020 whale planner. This is the infographic.
Reaching back into the archives, we saw whales in 2012 on the ferry travelling to Seattle.
