"This nonfiction book about whales in the Pacific Ocean is written by Leigh Calvez. Calvez has worked with whales and dolphins as a scientist, naturalist, and nature writer. As a scientist, she was Research Director for the Ocean Mammal Institute on such projects as the effect of vessel traffic on endangered humpback whales off Maui, Hawaii. She also led the only independent research team observing the US Navy's testing of Low Frequency Active Sonar on humpback whales in their nurseries in Hawaii in 1998" --

I've learned so much from this enjoyable read. Calvez discusses her experience following and researching these magnificent creatures. The coverage of the beginning of captive whales for 'entertainment' broke my heart. Reminded me of the documentary film 'Blackfish'.
Highly recommended

jlhammar Sounds good! I almost nominated a different whale one for our next #naturalitsy group read.

I love the quiet majesty of whales.

It had always been a dream of mine to see one while just hanging out at the beach. Not on a whale watching trip, not in captivity. I wanted to be surprised, to have my breath taken away.

Shortly before moving away from the California coast, my dream came true.

I knew I would love this book.
