daughter at the hospital at the Oregon Health Sciences University in

Rain or shine, whale traffic off the Oregon Coast should be at its
peak for the annual spring watch week, which begins today (March 20)
and continues through Saturday, March 27.
“This migration is off to a fast start,” said Park Ranger Morris
Grover of the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department’s Whale Watching
Center at Depoe Bay. “That usually means it will reach its peak before
the end of the month.”
More than 400 trained volunteers will be at 26 “Whale Watching
Spoken Here” sites from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. daily. They will be there to
answer questions and give advice about spotting some of the 18,000-plus
gray whales cruising north from their breeding grounds off Mexico’s
Baja California coast to their summer feeding grounds in the Arctic.
