Update: we spotted five or six right whales at 6:30AM just off the shore between Salt Island and Thacher. They remained feeding in the area for 11+ hours. Two crossed past the Rockport side of Long Beach, and back again. They were surprisingly fast at times! Post was updated during the day with more photos and videos. I hope some photogs with professional lens will be sharing soon.

Feeding off Magnolia this morning (May 7) and yesterday. At least 1 whale with dorsal fin, so apparently that one is not a right whale. I’ve counted 5 total.
