July 4 Sightings

Hi everyone!

Welcome to our new blog! Sightings from this day is a great way to start, as we had a great day on Jeffreys Ledge! We were fortunate enough to see all 3 baleen whales most common in the area, with sightings of about 11 humpbacks, 7 minkes, and a fin whale mother/calf pair (the fin whale, who hopefully will be given a "real" name soon, is known in our catalog as #9904, and she had her last calf 3 years ago).

Identified humpbacks out there today included Clamp, Hornbill, and several whales we've seen multiple times this season but haven't found a match in our catalogs yet.


Come back again soon for more sightings updates. We hope that soon our interns will be contributing as well, so you can see things from their perspective!
