Bird Cruise...Fin Whales...Minkes....Still lots to see

Good evening everyone,

I have 2 days to tell you about....yesterday we had 2 trips and it did take some patience, I'm not going to lie but in the end on both trips we found both minke and finbacks and got some amazing looks at both.





This morning we had our second coastal and pelagic bird cruise of the 2013 season and it was a wonderful morning on the water.  Even though we didn't see as many species as we saw last season we still had some highlights....we had some great looks at a bald eagle fishing (a first for many passengers on board), we saw a pair a red-necked grebes and we also saw plenty of surf and white-winged scoters in Passamaquoddy Bay.












This afternoon we headed offshore, we knew there were some minke whales being sighted inshore but the boat traffic was a little too heavy for our liking so off we went.  We ended up off Long Eddy. Grand Manan with 3 minke whales and lots of feeding harbour porpoise.

Thanks to everyone who has joined us over the past 2 days,

Cheers,
Danielle
