Maybe were too late in the year, I mused to my husband.
The regions whale season goes from roughly August to October; I knew November was a long shot.

Whales, such as the humpbacks we hoped to spot, often sing to communicate.
Different species of whales migrate and breed at different times and in different regions.
That means travelers can embark on whale-listening excursions throughout the year.

Meanwhile, on Canadas Vancouver Island, whales can be heard on land.
I saw the signature spouts and tails of a humpback mother and her calf just offshore.
