The SOUNDS Of Whale Watching Week

Gary Halvorson/Oregon State Archives

It is Winter Whale Watching Week on the Oregon Coast once again... a chance to head for the shore to see signs of migrating whales passing by. 

Since we specialize in audio, we'll go beyond the whale WATCHING and move on to whale LISTENING. 

That's the work of a company called Biowaves, that records the sounds of whales and other ocean creatures for a variety of research purposes. 

Gray whale expert Jeff Jacobsen gives us a few sound clips of migrating whales and helps us understand what the whale sounds mean.
