Last year they seemed to hold their own, even adding one to make the population 84. According to the Center for Whale Research on San Juan Island, a new calf was seen for the first time Monday, May 21. This would be her first known calf. And as long as we're on the topic of births, and just in case you missed last week's update, we were treated again on Sunday to a showing from the downy, white, little eaglet in the new nest on Sucia Island. Regeneration in the natural world is a truly amazing, beautiful, and wonderful thing.
Hope springs eternal.
