--=====================_484287468==.ALT Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed 06 October 2009 We walked the length of Martinique Beach on the morning of 6 October, and we found a dead whale about 3/4 of the way along the beach. Photos are here: http://tinyurl.com/y8zlsu6 I've tentatively ID'd this as a Minke Whale, but request confirmation. And can anyone tell me what is protruding from the whale's mouth? From a distance (the first shot) it looked like a large balloon. We arrived at high tide, and there were many shorebirds roosting in the kelp at the eastern end of the beach, including 450+ Semipalmated Plovers, 400+ Sanderling, 50+ Semipalmated Sandpipers, 1 Dunlin, and 1 Baird's Sandpiper. I've cc'd this message to the Museum of Natural History, in case they are interested.
