Hello everyone, Danielle with Quoddy Link Marine here back for my 15th season (the 22nd season for Quoddy!!). I am a little late to get these updates started (SORRY!!) but they will be here on a regular basis now, a few times a week but there are always daily updates and photos on our Facebook page
We have had a wonderful start to our 2016 season with finback and/or minke whales sighted on almost every departure, and if a whale is not sighted out policy is to give our passengers a voucher to come again with us for free!
Here are some whale images from the past few weeks.

The seal sightings have been fantastic with great numbers of both harbour and grey seals.

The nesting on Whitehorse has been incredible with great numbers of black-legged kittiwakes. There is some evidence that a pair of razorbills may have even nested on the Island.

We have 2 bald eagles nests in the area that are easy to see from the boat with young eaglets still in the nest.
This young seal will learn quickly not to play with her food in front of a bald eagle (the bald eagle stole part of the fish)
This bald eagle actually took a piece of a fish out of a seals mouth.

Thank You for checking in and again sorry for the delay in the updates. I will be posting here a few times a week but don’t forget to check out our Facebook page for daily updates and pictures.
Cheers,
Danielle
