Thank you! I did not get a shot of his fluke. It seems like all he did the whole time was breech! SO ACTIVE!!

Wonderful photos of Habenero's calf... it has such a distinctively white belly... many Pacific humpbacks have a lot of white on their bellies but in my experience it is rare in North Atlantic whales? did you happen to get a photo of the calf's fluke?

Almost like a southern humpback with that much white underneath
