Beluga Whales







We got an early wake up call that the Beluga Whales were starting to migrate. So, we jetted down to Beluga point, hiked to the rocks close to the water and watched. We saw a lot of them!!! It was so exciting. A few were even within 20-30 feet from us. A few of the mothers brought their babies close by. I had no idea that babies are grey and turn white when they grow up. When you looked out into the ocean, you could see the white spots miles away. We were really only a few miles out of town.

One of the many benefits of living in Alaska. The most interesting wildlife we get here are cows and deer.
