>> Jason LeBlanc captured a video of a large whale just south of Morris =
Island today (Nov. 10, 2016). This location is extremely close to shore =
and seems an unusual place for such a large whale. I know Minke Whales =
have been sighted in Lobster Bay, but I've never heard of a Humpback in =
the area before. The dorsal fin shape looks fine for Humpback Whale =
(small fin with bump surrounding it). It is said to have been in the =
area of Wedgeport last week by Leanne Frotten.
