Your group will see spectacular scenery as autumn descends upon the countryside. Colourful fall foliage is everywhere as we sail amongst the islands of the Saint John River. This is exciting news because there have been very few calves born in the past few years and none in the Bay of Fundy for 3 years. There have now been 23 babies recorded and maybe 2 more, pending identification. Sadly there has been 1 mortality leaving 22.
Lets hope the rest all make it.
The old record for births was 22 set in 1996. I have to say it again - Grand Manan is going to be the place to be this summer. We do not know yet if the last 3 have Bay of Fundy moms or not. Even if not, this summer should be a outstanding year for whales around Grand Manan Island and we are looking forward to having the privilege of showing them to you. The calving should be over now for this season and, as you can see from the notes above, what a season it has been.
