Orca Sightings from Grand Manan Channel - 2001, 2006

I'm reminded of orca whale sightings:

In 2001, Orca whales were sighted south of Campobello Island and around Grand Manan. Again in 2006, an orca was spotted off Grand Manan.

Thanks Bob: The sketch is one I did to illustrate a sighting at Grand Manan many years ago. I will be trying to dig up this information too. Killers whales are spectacular beasts!

Art, Do you remember these whales that Bob Hooper saw off Eastern Head on Campobello? Danielle says they are right whales, we were not sure at the time. Bobby says they were taken October 17th, 2006. Two whales. Eastern Head, north of Herring Cove beach. Close to the rocks.

Hey Joyce, these are right whales (lack of a dorsal, callosities on the rostrum, rights 100 %). My guess would be from 2006.

Cheers,
Danielle
