"Lost" whales not seen today - may have made it to Pacific
now on MSNBC - the whales haven't been seen all day, and they suspect they may have gone out to the ocean durig the night. That would be great news!

7. On the news last night
they said they were planning on tagging them this morning. They may have missed the opportunity.

5. Excellent!
I drove out to Rio Vista last weekend and watched them swim back and forth for a couple of hours. What beautiful animals! I'm glad to hear that they're finally going back to sea.

13. I Hope That's The Case And That The Prank Recording Wasn't In Fact Real.
Remember the thread yesterday stating that a prank recording was left on the hotline saying they've been euthanized? I hope that wasn't something they were trying to hide that accidentally leaked out, and now they're covering their tracks.

I know that sounds tinfoilish and it probably most likely is. I hope they did in fact make it back out.
