For right now, I've updated my Sightings Log and I've posted my newest photos. I also have new video clips online now, but they're quite large so they may take some time to download. The first 4 clips are of Mudskipper and Jabiru feeding together. The last clip is of some Dolphins that we saw recently. Enjoy!

Monday, 8/3/09 : Dolphins, Fin Whales, and Humpback Whales Seen Lately - plus many foggy days!
I haven't updated the site for a while as I've been caught up in some other projects. I've also had pretty bad luck on the ocean lately (stuck in rough and foggy weather) so my whale sightings haven't really been all that great lately. The Granite State continues to have terrific luck, it's just me who isn't for some reason this season. Hopefully my luck will change next week when I'm on vacation for a whole week! Trip Details and Photos from my most recent trips have been posted. I'm still playing catch up, but will have some more new stuff up soon.

Wednesday, 7/15/09 : So Many Hungry Whales Around!
The whale watching has been especially exciting on Jeffrey's Ledge lately. There have been many lunge feeding Fin Whales and open mouth feeding Humpback Whales in the area. Photos from this past weekend of whale watching have been posted. I haven't had time to write up the details of the trips, but I didn't want to hold off on posting the photos any longer. I'll have the details up as soon as possible.

Tuesday, 7/7/09 : Jeffrey's Ledge Has Come to Life!
I found out late last night that there was an abundance of whales on Jeffrey's Ledge yesterday (Monday, 7/6). There were Fin and Humpback Whales open mouth feeding and lunge feeding all over the place. Unfortunately, I had to work so I missed the show, but I'm hopeful they'll stick around for a while.

Among the whales seen yesterday was an adult male Humpback named Satula which was seen every year since 2000, but for some reason he was never seen during the 2008 season. I was pretty worried about him considering that he was a "no show" last year, but thankfully he was seen and he's doing very well! Other identified Humpbacks seen lately (on trips I missed) include Hornbill, Sabot, Sedge, Solas, Tigris, Tripod, and Valley. There are also many large adult Fin Whales (we saw at least half a dozen on Sunday) who were also busy feeding. Nows's the time to go see teh whales if you've been thinking about going!

Monday, 7/6/09 : My Sightings Update
After a very rainy month of June, the weather finally cooperated over the weekend. I was able to go on my first double trip of  the season this past Sunday. It was an absolutely beautiful day out on the ocean. It was warm and the sun was out shining brightly. There was no rain or fog to fight with. It was just perfect for spending the day watching the whales. There were plenty of whales to be watched as well. We saw several Fin and Minke Whales as well as a surprise sighting of White Sided Dolphins. There were tons of birds out there as well. I can't wait to get out there again! The photos are all posted in the Photo Album and the Trip Details are also up.
