Now those are some flukes!



And then in Paradise Bay we saw half a dozen humpbacks blowing and rolling and diving. This picture actually captures the patterns on the whale's flukes, which are as distinctive as fingerprints.

I have not yet subscribed to Happy Whale, which keeps a database of whale fluke images and allows you to track whales that you see, because I am not likely to see enough whales around Manhattan to make a subscription worthwhile.

Which is not to say that I won't. I'm curious where this gorgeous creature is headed.
