SIGHTINGS UPDATE
Saturday August 22, 2020
10am: This morning’s trip started with some gray and harbour seals at Black Ledge. We got some looks at a bald eagle off of White Island and a couple of harbour porpoises before heading out to the Wolves. Off Southern Wolf Island we picked up a fin whale with the help of our scout boat and with lots of patience, we were rewarded with some looks.
1:30pm: This afternoon we headed out and spent time with a minke whale. We then got word of a finback whale so we wandered over to take some looks at that whale. We found 3 more minke whales along the way. There were so many birds out as well: razorbills, Arctic terns, Bonaparte gulls, herring gulls, great black backed gulls, and guillemots. Wow!
5pm: This evening we had a chartered group. We spent time with 3 different minke whales, many harbour porpoise, seals, and seabirds!
