Oh, Wyatt, thank you!
Wyatt came by our office with a gift. He recently undertook cleaning up around Nimpkish Lake. He got deposit $ from the bottles and cans he took out of the environment and wanted us to have the $.
How this lifts us up, and propels us on.

Jan 5 - we saw Constellation 2 near Port McNeill.
By Feb 17, she made it to the breeding grounds of Hawaii and had a newborn calf. Known thanks to @pacwhaleecoadventures & @happywhale_official
When back in BC, mom will be hungry and calf will have a lot to learn.
