I've been wondering whether climate change hasn't been responsible for the return of humpback whales in large numbers to the waters of Vancouver Island.
Several years ago I noticed the arrival of masses of anchovies, presumably out of the south. Anchovies and herring are the preferred bait fish of humpbacks.
It's possible that the humpbacks have likewise migrated north in pursuit of their prey.
Way to go climate change.
