One of our favorite humpbacks has returned to the Salish Sea! BCX0519 (aka Stitch) completed his trip from Hawaii with an unknown friend as they surfed the swell through the Juan de Fuca strait this afternoon.
It's just about that time of year when we start to see a consistent flow of humpbacks returning to the area to feast and pack on all of the weight they lost throughout the mating season.
