Saturday's Whales

July 11, 2009

Well Saturday's whale watch trips were also successful. Naturalist Kaitlyn Allen reported 7 finback whales- a group of 6 and a single whale, on the first trip. Many birds were seen including northern gannets, Wilson storm petrels, and even a roseate tern at Petit Manan!


On the second trip a juvenile humpback was seen along with 9 finback whales- a group of 2, 3, and 4 individuals. Many northern gannets, gulls, and terns were seen everywhere!















Beautiful weather and lots of life on the whale grounds!
