There Be Whales Here!
Took my Aunt and a Cousin for a beach ride. Look what we found!

I think your aunt and cousin might be a little offended at you referring to them in that manner  
But those rocks in the water are shallow enough they would make for a nice casting perch 
Seriously, how far out? That beach must drop off pretty quickly.

Ya know, I was afraid that I'd use the wrong syntax. Those leviathons are within easy casting distance from where the girls are standing. Never seen them that close before. Yesterday there was one even closer grubbing the bottom with his stern high out of the water. Amazing! Today, I bet we saw 30-40 of them.

Race Point, Cape Cod
Hi there, We're looking for someone to get my wife and I out to Race Point Light and back on Friday the 28th to get a few photos of the lighthouse. Willing to pay. You can email me directly at jbedard@bedardphoto.com (tonight if possible before 11pm as we're leaving Thursday morning) We just need about 15 minutes at the lighthouse. Thanks! John B. |

Fred........found this in CCT under birding column
As impressive, even bigger by volume, was the exceptional marine mammal show that Nikula witnessed. Northern right whales, among the rarest creatures on the planet with fewer than 300 members, have been putting on a show off North Truro and Provincetown for the past couple of weeks. This would be a great time to take a whale-watching trip to see these animals, as they are engaging in courtship and mating, often not far offshore. Nikula saw a Northern right whale, a minke whale, a fin whale and two humpback whales flipper-slapping - all in a mere 20 minutes from the Race Point parking lot Sunday morning.

Thanks, Mike. I'll keep my guide book with me and my eyes peeled this weekend. I knew that they were rare, but not that rare.
