Right Whale Talk and Art Show

Recently we went to a local state park to hear a talk about Right Whales which are whales that frequent the ocean shore in this area in order to bear young. We have been lucky to have actually seen them roaming close to shore while enjoying the beautiful scenery here. It was a very interesting talk given by a local guy who has been studying them for years. That evening he hosted an art show that we attended for a short time.

Here is a poster at the park telling about the volunteer sighting network. You can drive by different areas along the shore and see these people with binoculars. If there are a lot of them you can be sure they have sighted a whale.





Here is the sign for the art show.
He had a guitarist there too along with refreshments. Very nice.

This was the artist he was featuring.
One of my favorites.


This was a book that the host has written about the right whales. He has a publishing company and has written and published a lot of books about turtles and whales.
