Whale Window documents humpback whales along the coast of Banderas Bay near Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. Filmed from fixed lookout points between Yelapa and Pizota, the channel captures whales and coastal wildlife as they pass through naturally—without pursuit, staging, or commentary-driven spectacle.
Episodes reflect real time spent watching the Pacific: scanning the horizon, listening to the surf, and waiting. Some days bring distant blows or traveling whales, others bring closer surface moments, and many bring only boats, birds, and empty water. The human observer remains secondary, emphasizing patience, distance, and respect for the natural rhythm of migration and coastal life.
New episodes follow the whale season along the coast of Jalisco, Mexico.

Another heartbreaking reminder of the dangers whales face.
A humpback whale wrapped in fishing rope washed ashore in eastern Newfoundland this week.
How do we protect fishing livelihoods while making our oceans safer for whales?

Whale Window – Humpback Whales of Banderas Bay
Whales are putting on a show in Conception Bay, Newfoundland — and people are watching from shore.
Dozens of humpbacks have moved into the bay to feed, with some coming close to cliffs as they trap bait fish.
This is exactly what makes shore-based whale watching so powerful.
No boats. No chasing. Just patience, timing, and respect for the ocean.
Have you ever seen whales from shore?

Whale Window – Humpback Whales of Banderas Bay
A rare North Atlantic right whale has been spotted entangled in fishing gear in the Gulf of St. Lawrence.
There are fewer than 400 of these whales left, and every single one matters.
Stories like this are a reminder of why we watch whales with respect, from a distance, and with awareness for the natural world they are trying to survive in.
Whales don’t need more pressure.
They need space, protection, and people who care enough to pay attention.

Whale Window – Humpback Whales of Banderas Bay
News reports this week describe humpback whales setting a new migration distance record.
From my observation point in Banderas Bay, I often wonder where these whales have come from and where they will go next.
This fluke photograph allowed me to begin investigating the identity of one individual whale.
Sometimes a tail dive is more than a tail dive.

I just published an evergreen video that explains how I watch humpback whales from shore here in Banderas Bay — and what Whale Window is really about.
If you’ve ever wondered how these observations are possible without a boat, this video answers that.
