Sorry Neal.

When I got back from the trip I went to the Center for Coastal Studies and talked to guide
who had been on one of the whale watch boats observing this group. He has a lot of
experience, and was with the first whale entanglement rescue about 20 years ago. They are
the only group on the East Coast licensed to do this.

He said that he made 7 or 8 positive IDs of humpbacks, and there might have been a few
more. The rest were about 20 minkes.

On the way back to Boston, I heard a radio report the a blue whale was about 10 miles
behind us, a bit too far to go back. Of course, I don't know how reliable the observer
was.

Humpback whales are white on their ventral sides including
fins and tail

I did not see any white in the photos of your so-called
Humpbacks.

Also the mouth is wrong for a Humpback.

Ha Ha ha.... Right Whale!!! Ha ha ha ha

Oh boy...

I can see confusion between Minkie and Pilot Whales..... but the far one is
indeed a Humpback. Right Whales summer in their calving grounds in the Bay
of Fundy, Nova Scotia.
