They tell me the tail of these whales are identifiable, kinda like a human fingerprint.

The cows have calves that follow the mom closely and usually show up as pairs as seen here.

Wow. You're either pretty close, or got a good zoom lens. Send ''em our way. In recent years the numbers seem to have been down😩.

Beautiful pictures, thanks for the post. They migrate by us twice a year.
Me and the wife went to guerro negro on the pacific side of baja. We got a panga and went out in the bay there, stick your hand in the water and start splashing. The grey whales swim up to the boat so you can pet them. They even will get under the calf's and lift them up to pet them. Dammest thing I've ever seen, scratching their heads, rubbing their bellies.  Truly an impressive animal ,the way they look at you, you feel like you're the zoo attraction to them. Pretty sure the worst breath of any creature I've run across anyway
If you ever get the opportunity, I highly recommend it
