The baby IS diving now and showing some sign of it's mature coat so lets hope for a warm Fall...... |
As APS said, there is one near WinnMir in Winter Harbor. It appeared on July 15th which is late, as they usually appear around July 4th. I agree, people are so "bonehead" about them. I know they mean well and only want to see them, but the kayakers get close to them and "drive" them which scares them out of a safe place into the middle of boat travel. They surrond them or get between them and and the shore, which makes them want to escape and not feel trapped. And speed boats don't often watch for them either. Someone on a jet ski tried to hit the baby the other day but fortunately missed. Someone in a boat spoke to him, but too bad he get his number to report him.
