WOW…what a special morning. THANK YOU to Rika for keeping me updated this morning
SIGHTINGS UPDATE
June 23, 2021
This morning we headed out Western Passage, stopping with porpoise in the Old Sow before picking up a huge surprise…a BELUGA off Friar’s Bay!! Belugas are not a common sight in Fundy so this was extra special for the crew and the charter which were grade 8 graduates from the local SJDA. After spending some time with the white toothed whale we continued up Head Harbour Passage and found a bald eagle and both harbour and grey seals off Casco Bay Island. We made sure to have a look at Head Harbour Light off Campobello before making our way back to St. Andrews.
THANK YOU to Rika for the updates!
And THANK YOU to the Grade 8 class from SJDA for joining us on this very special trip!
Cheers,
Danielle
A note on the beluga, they are a highly social toothed whale that are not found in Fundy and should be further north with a pod. Hopefully this individual will move on soon.

Deer Island Point, NB, a great spot to check out the Old Sow from land but you want to make sure you check the tide tables and visit about 3 hours before high tide – Image by Rika
