There has been talk on Twitter this afternoon about the link between a deceased whale currently being transported from the Vashon Island area and the grey whale who visited Ballard Locks earlier this month.
Is gray whale found dead this morning near Vashon Is. the same undernourished one spotted earlier in Ballard Locks?https://t.co/NZj72lFMaI
