--part1_4aefeb.302fb49e.43ec9382_boundary Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit I don't usually stay on Naturens in the winter because of WiFi issues but thought Maritimers might be interested in the report of a right whale and calf that decided to visit the Sebastion Inlet just North of us in Vero Beach. The whale, which apparently is well known as "Clipper" by whale watchers and her 20ft long calf spent over a day in the inlet and did not appear to be in any distress. They exited the inlet yesterday and headed out to sea. The inlet being only about 500 to 600 feet wide made for some great whale watching. Another smaller highlight was rescuing three baby stingrays at the tideline on my first beach walk. They had been caught in the surf and it took a couple of throws to get them back into deeper water. They appeared to be newborn and I suspect that the mother gave birth in the gully just outside the surf and the young could not escape the surf. Lots of great birds including several sandhill cranes before we had even left the airport boundaries in Orlando. Also a Roseate Spoonbill feeding in a drainage ditch in Vero Beach. We seldom see them any more. Fairly cool here but at least no snow.
