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 Puget Sound.

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

Little Patch and killer whales aren’t the only water-dwelling wildlife drawing excited visitors to Stanley Park .

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

“I could even recognize people I knew from across (the water), like with my camera”.
