Right Whales mating season off the coast of SC, GA, and FL
A very rare marine mammal is returning to Georgia’s coast. This November 22 a North Atlantic Right Whale was seen off the coast of South Carolina migrating south for the winter. Right whales swim from Canada and New England each year to bear their young along the coast of Georgia, South Carolina and northeastern Florida. Calving season is crucial for this endangered species, since there may be as few as 400 animals. Department of Natural Resources (DNR) wildlife biologist Clay George, who heads DNR’s right whale research and monitoring efforts, said cooler weather and water temperatures last winter pushed many of the whales farther south, deeper along the Florida coast. Warmer weather is forecast for this winter so it is very likely there will be more sightings off of Georgia’s coast. Right whales, which can weigh up to 70 tons and reach 50 feet in length, seldom come within sight of land in Georgia, but boaters often see them. More than 150 individual right whales, including 21 calves, were seen off the southeastern U.S. last winter. While the population is increasing at an annual rate of 2 percent, there are fewer than 100 breeding females.
Today I had a teen-age whale jump up right in front of our boat while I was driving. He went straight up into the air and then disappeared in the water. Of course I didn't get a picture, it happened so quickly. It was probably a little bit larger than the small one in the picture I found on-line. It was so exciting; I can't even begin to tell you. Unfortunately, Bob did not see it happen.....
The many wardrobes of Lynn today!
These no-see-ums were everywhere....I even had to cover
my nose so I wouldn't breath them in!
Feeding time!
Me again! One eye peek!
Still feeding and playing!
Another wardrobe change!
We ended up in the middle of no where again. Didn't have cell phone connection; plenty of bugs though! Long day. Starting to get cool!!
