Pod of 20 Gray Whales off San Diego

[Les Luzar]

Check this out! A pod of 20 gray whales spotted traveling south five miles off the coast of San Diego. A pod this large is basically unheard of in this area.

Thanks for the heads up.  I land in San Diego in a few hours.  I'll have to keep my eyes open for whales.

Steve,
I have seen whales off the coast of Newport and between Long Beach and Catalina, but never 20 to 25 in one pod. That is an amazing number of whales for around here.
