The news (Channel 6 I think) said there were only two, a mother and child. However, who knows with our news stations?

Who identified the species? Dead Wrong Dale of Channel 6 can't tell a turkey vulture from a hawk Laughing

, so who knows what he'd make of a whale. I'll tune in at 10.

Common Name: Northern Right Whale

Size: Female maximum length 16.5 - 18 m (depending on measurement method used). Females are larger than males.

Habitat: Warm and cold marine waters.

Range: From 30° to 62° North latitude in the North Atlantic Ocean. Northern Atlantic, North Pacific, and Southern populations do not appear to mix.

Diet: Feed almost exclusively on calanoid copepods, concentrating on aggregations of these copepods.

Reproduction: Calving takes place from December to April in the North Atlantic. Calves are approximately 6 m at birth. Females are extremely attached to their calves.

Comments: Right whales are either solitary or travelling in small groups. They do gather in large numbers in areas of good feeding.

Conservation Notes: This species is extremely endangered. The ESA and IUCN both list the Northern Right Whale as an endangered species . Most commercial exploitation of this species was halted by the 1920's, and it is now protected in more than 120 countries. Entanglement and ship-strikes are still major concerns. Unfortunately, the population is showing little signs of recovering.

Maybe they will stick around and repopulate a bit. A pod of endangered and very large whales will bring more tourist money here than that resort would. I wish I could have seen them myself. What an awesome sight that would be!
