Subject: more on Beached Whale and Floating Dead Whale?

What I heard on the news yesterday, Oct. 6, was about two different whales.
One was a small, 5-metre MINKE WHALE that was grounded somewhere and still
alive, but I can't recall where -- South Shore somewhere?

The second one was a floating dead whale somewhere in the Bay of Fundy, and
the federal Fisheries and Oceans marine mammal expert was on his way to
examine and identify it -- no information was given on how it had died, but
the report did reiterate that 2 different young female RIGHT WHALES had
already been killed this year by ship collisions in the Bay of Fundy.  Let's
hope this is not another dead Right Whale.

Cheers from Jim in Wolfville

Subject: [NatureNS] Beached Whale

Has anyone further information on the beached whale which was reported on
radio this a.m. It said the whale was at Bridgetown which is of course not
possible. Friends would like to know exactly where it is beached and if it
is easily accessible. It is thought to be a Right Whale.
