    Lots of whales here too! I have been away for a couple of weeks, but my husband had a humpback right in the bay, diving under the house, then feeding! Our bay is very enclosed, about 30 feet deep with a narrow twisty entrance! More deer are also evident in the general area.

    • @AmandaOffGrid
      @AmandaOffGrid  3 місяці тому

      wow!! under the house!!? that must have been cool. it must have been a nice high tide. the deer here have disappeared, but i think that is b/c the owners were here for about 5 days or so. their dog has the run of the place so i think the deer stay away.
