A grey whale known as Little Patch has been mesmerizing onlookers in the waters off of Vancouver for weeks .

Little Patch is part of a group of about a dozen grey whales known as "sounders" that break off from the typical migration route to feed in Washington 's Puget Sound.

The nickname comes from a distinctive white patch on the side of the whale's body.

Vancouver 's waters are brimming with shipping vessels, tankers and recreational boats.

A Eurasian tufted duck recently spent a few days at Lost Lagoon in Stanley Park .

Lin said he's been watching for an "odd one out" as the purplish-black duck blends with similar-looking lesser scaups.

"It's kind of bringing people together in terms of observing wildlife," Lin said.
