Early Whales!

On the evening of 6 December, FWC phoned with a report of whales heading south from St. Augustine Inlet.  The next day, Monday the 7th, whales were sighted off Washington Oaks, Painter's Hill, and Flagler Beach--moving quickly.  About 11:30 Martha Garito got good photos from Flagler Pier.  They were identified as female #3520, Millipede, with her 2nd calf (mother and calf images below).


Whales are in the area.  Please be on the lookout.  If you have a sighting, please use the Marine Resources Council's Right Whale Hotline #1-888-979-4253.

And, please use good judgement when going out.  Face masks, social distancing, no groups--listen to Dr. Fauci.  And, don't go out if you are not comfortable doing so.

Lastly. we will be posting here around the 15th advising of the plans for the season (it will be different).
