Watch Whales Trapped At Seal Beach River's End

SEAL BEACH, CA — It was a glorious sight on Sunday at sunset. A baby humpback whale, seen at what is known as River's End in the Seal Beach area of Orange County.

Resident Jennifer Fitzpatrick took the below video of the baby humpback who had been in the channel the majority of the day, according to reports.

"I came down to the beach, hoping to capture a video of the sunset, but saw this baby whale," she said.

The baby and presumably a mother whale were spotted in the Seal Beach channel, Sunday and again on Monday, attracting a crowd of onlookers and raising concerns they might get stuck in the shallow water.

The whales were spotted around mid-morning in the channel, floating along the surface of the water, giving an impressive show to a crowd of camera- wielding spectators who gathered to get a glimpse of the pair.

By late morning, the whales appeared to be making their way back to open water, but they continued to linger in the mouth of the channel.

According to Captain Dave's Dolphin and Whale Safari, thousands of gray whales are migrating right now.

"Think freeway at rush hour with whales instead of cars," Captain Dave Anderson said over Facebook. "With recent rainy weather, it can be hard to remember that getting outside is one of the best things you can do for your health!"
