This is Scarlet, also known as Scarback, an absolute unit of a gray whale that we see along the Oregon coast just about every year. Her signature scar and pointy dorsal ridges make it pretty easy to identify her.

On of, if not my favorite gray whale photos I’ve made along the Oregon coast. This was shot from the top of Cape Foulweather with a 400mm.

Missing my feathered kayak buddies. Brown Pelican shot with my Sony a7iii and a 200-400mm lens in Port Orford, Oregon.

Summer whale watching in Oregon is amazing for many reasons, one of which is the proximity of whales the shore. In some places, you go miles to see a whale. In Oregon, it can be as little as a few feet. You can see the Depoe Bay harbor entrance not far from this gray whale.
