My question:
    Has the species ID been confirmed? Unusual, an off-shore whale 
species in a tidal estuary...

Officials find dead whale in Annapolis River after spring thaw

By THE CANADIAN PRESS

BRIDGETOWN _ Officials here found a dead whale this week in the 
Annapolis River with the arrival of the spring thaw.

Bridgetown mayor Art Marshall says officials suspect it could be the 
same whale that was spotted a couple of times in the river last fall.

They think it was a sperm whale calf that weighed between one and two 
tonnes.

He says firefighters used their zodiac to pull the whale to an area 
where it was loaded on a truck.

It was then taken away an buried.

It's not the first time a whale has made it through the tidal power 
plant in Annapolis Royal and into the river, but officials believe it's 
the first one that didn't make it back out.
