Saw a whale? Tell us.

Most of the Oregon coast has no hydrophone and no official observer. If you spot something from the headland, the harbour or the beach, your report may be the only record of it.

Helpful to include: where you were, the time, roughly how many animals, which way they were heading, and a photo if you got one.

Only attach photos you took or have permission/license from the rights-holder to submit for public display here. Please include the photographer/creator credit, source link, and license or permission details if known.
