Is this not the minke whale that has been on this beach for several =
months - reported October 6 by Blake Maybank and again November 11 by =
Jennifer Rowlands via Randy Lauff? =20
The recent surf had rolled it exposing the right side that has obviously =
been protected from the elements and still has skin on it. The jaw =
bones are sticking out and the outline of the vertebrae are visible =
along the back.

Subject: [NatureNS] Martinique Beach/whale carcass/eagles
Hello,
=20
This morning while walking on Martinique Beach (Eastern Shore) we saw =
some bird activity at a far distance near the end of the beach (gulls, =
crows, and two large bird of prey). We suspected something had washed =
up - which turned to be a whale.=20

=20
I would appreciate someone helping with identification. I paced off =
the length at about 7.5m or 8m.
=20
The birds of prey moved off long before we were close. Later we could =
see them at a distance. I had trouble identifying them at first until I =
noticed the presence of a mature Bald Eagle as well - therefore I'm =
pretty sure they were two immature Bald Eagles (sorry for not being sure =
as we didn't get a close look).
