Salish Sea's First Humpback Whale Calf of 2025 Spotted Near Sidney Island
- On May 21, the Pacific Whale Watch Association observed a four- to five-month-old humpback whale calf swimming with its mother, Big Mama, northeast of Sidney Island.
- The calf arrived after several months migrating from warm breeding grounds, where mothers give birth over winter in Hawaii and Central America waters.
- Big Mama, part of the Hawaiian population, has made this long journey many times and now has at least eight calves and seven grandcalves.
- Erin Gless, executive director of the PWWA, expressed excitement about identifying the season’s initial calf and shared the happiness surrounding Big Mama's return.
- The calf’s arrival signals the start of the seasonal migration and feeding period in the Salish Sea, with more humpbacks expected to return before winter migration south.
