One of our Fin whale's was identified as #9709, photographed below. You can appreciate just how big this whale really is when you notice the bird flying just above it's back. 
I was not able to get clear shots, but for all our bird friends, we had a grand slam for Shearwater species, which made for a nice contrast with all the whale activity.
A speical thanks to our passengers who joined us today. Even though we started with foggy conditions, we ended with sunny skies and lots of whales to report.

The bird flying over the Fin Whale is a Great Black-back Gull. Black-backs average 30 inches long. If we assume that the bird was flying directly over the whale it means that 45 feet of whale is visible in that photo!
