RIO VISTA – Two whales lost in the Sacramento River have made progress toward their ocean home, but rescuers were concerned Monday about encounters they might have with large ships as they near San Francisco Bay. The mother humpback whale and her calf were spotted Monday morning near the Benicia-Martinez Bridge, about 45 miles from the Pacific, said Carol Singleton of the Governor's Office of Emergency Services.
The pair had traveled about 24 miles in 24 hours, but their pace had slowed. They were first spotted May 13 and got as far as 90 miles inland to the Port of Sacramento before turning around.
Biologists hope that getting the whale into more brackish water after more than two weeks in the river could help ease the physical strain they have suffered from long exposure to fresh water.

Relax, they’re being deported even as we speak.
Only moonbats can see two whales swimming and think that they are lost, how do they know that? What next, fit the two whales with GPS nav systems and perhaps a nice Latte’?
I’ve been waiting for them to blame the Navy’s new sonar systems
Whales are sooo much smarter than humans. They were just staking out new beach front property before the global warming rush really kicks in.

Two whales in a confined channel is what is called “easy hunting”. Make me some lamp oil from them I say!
Hmm, someone check the voter rolls in Sacremento, I thought I saw a boat from project ACORN registering them to vote
Look under Shamu w. Whale...1 dependent....single parent houselhold....the father swam off some time ago...LOL
Who in the hell is paying for these morons to chase these whales up and down the river? At least 150 to 200 years ago men chased whales for a purpose other than their “deep concern!”

Full story on page 1.
Screw all of those illegals, all of them......stupid whales, they deserve to get whatever happens to them....more taxpayer $$$ being wasted...
Whale #1: I expected the Alaska ice fields to be a little icier than this.
Whale #2: I was thinking the same thing. That Jack London’s full of sh*t, man.
Haroon them and sell them to the Japanese!
This has been on the local stations consistently. I suggested The Queen and Charles for the whale names. But nooooo, we have ‘Delta & Dawn’. Good grief.
They have more people watching these two than the entire border!
Arrgh, Matey....The man for that job is here!
These are some of the most intelligent animals on earth, and these goof balls think they need to “redirect” them back to the ocean. What if they had a set goal in mind? They aren’t going to kill themselves. Leave them alone.
