** CORRECTS THIRD SENTENCE TO READ "NOT UNUSUAL" **Pam Martin with Central Puget Sound Marine Mammal Stranding Network examines a dead gray whale that washed ashore in the Arroyo Beach neighborhood in West Seattle, on Thursday, April 15, 2010. It's reportedly the fifth dead gray whale found this month _ four in Puget Sound waters and the fifth near Vancouver, British Columbia. Marine biologists say it's not unusual for five to seven whales to die in a migration season as they make their way north to their summer feeding grounds around Alaska. But more deaths would be cause for concern. (Mike Siegel / The Seattle Times)
