Judy
Bowman of Team 3 spotted blows, breaches and dorsal fins in south Beverly Beach
around 9:30 this morning and reported multiple humpback whales. At the same
time, Julie with the Marine Resources Council’s Right Whale Hotline relayed
calls from other spotters at Flagler
Beach. The Sighting
Network at its best!
On this truly glorious day, a pair of humpbacks
stayed relatively close to shore and quite active as they moved south, putting
on a good show for everyone who came out to have a look. Dave and Maryanne
Gustafson enabled Jim to locate our camera
on the roof of the Aliki, 15 stories
tall, and photograph the whales from that excellent vantage point. In the image to the right, note the characteristic dorsal fin that readily identifies it as a
humpback.
