Here, she relates the stories of nature's most remarkable creatures, including the familial orcas in the waters of Washington State and British Columbia; the migratory humpbacks; the ancient, deep-diving blue whales, the largest animals on the planet. The lives of these whales are conveyed through the work of dedicated researchers who have spent decades tracking them along their secretive routes that extend for thousands of miles, gleaning their habits and sounds and distinguishing peculiarities.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCalvez author invites the reader onto a small research catamaran maneuvering among 100-foot long blue whales off the coast of California; or to join the task of monitoring patterns of humpback whale movements at the ocean surface: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003etail throw\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eflipper slap\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003efluke up\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, or \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eblow\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e.
