In February, after the calves are born, the whales leave the lagoon and travel along the coast of Baja California (Mexico), California and Oregon all the way to the Bering Sea. This is one of the longest migration routes: the whales travel 9,600 to 10,000 km one way! In November they travel along the same route back to Mexico. Along the way, they often travel close to shore and the whale can be spotted from land-based whale-watching sites along the California and Oregon coasts.

Rescuers hoped the whales would start moving again as the tide came in late Monday afternoon, noting that the animals appear to prefer swimming against the tide. But no one really seems to know why the whales decide to stop and start on their travels.
