Sept. 11, 2006
The 2006 season continues to amaze us. Surface feeding has been continued through much of August, and as of this writing, there are still many humpbacks on Stellwagen. However, their feeding behavior has now turned both variable and interesting.
In the past several years, a number of juvenile humpback whales have appeared west of the Bank, feeding on some form of plankton - perhaps a krill-like plankton, perhaps amphipods. Their behavior is very distinctive - unlike the fish-feeding humpbacks that we have seen trap their prey with bubbles and tail slaps all summer long, these animals simply surface with their mouth full, take 1-2 breaths while filtering, often diving without arching their backs. Dives are usually les than 90 seconds, and the whales are back up with another mouthful. Each year of the past several some of the same whales have come back and have exploited this food source. Each year has also built on the previous one, as more and more whales have used the prey source. However, in most of the time that this new type of feeding has gone on, sand lance (their favorite fish) have not been plentiful. It has led us to wonder what would happen this fall.
We could see evidence that some of the same whales were returning as early as mid-August. Jabiru (first seen in 2001), Milkweed (the 2002 calf of Zeppelin), and Buzzard (the 2000 calf of Reflection) all showed up in mid- to late-August, as they have in the past several years. But their time was spent feeding on fish on the shallow waters of Stellwagen, not plankton to the west of the Bank.
In early September, that all changed literally overnight. On September 4, almost every whale we saw was plankton feeding, including many that were in deeper waters off of the bank. But these were not the smaller, younger whales of the past several years; they were generally the big adults we had been seeing all along this summer! And it only lasted a day - but September 5, surface sand lance were back and the whales were once again aggregated and surface feeding. By the end of the week, they were generally deep feeding once again, but more likely on deeper fish rather than plankton. It will continue to be interesting to see what the coming weeks hold.
We have continued to have regular sightings of humpback mother-calf pairs. Calves are getting older now, and are becoming more independent. We have seen several calves spending extended periods of time away from their mothers, and have seen a number of them trying their surface feeding abilities. On one day, Octave's calf was repeatedly observed lunge feeding and blowing bubbles on its own for over an hour, while Octave herself fed nearby in a bubble netting group of six whales. Other mothers we have seen recently include Anvil, Cardhu, Compass, Tornado, Vertex, and Whisk, among others. In total, there have been over 30 calves that have been seen among Gulf of Maine humpbacks this season.
We also have continued to see "old friends" returning to the area. Alpha, a male seen frequently in the early and mid-1980's, has returned. "Bat" (also known as 2-3 White Spot) appeared in early September for the first time of the year. Meteor, a male seen often in the early '80's but rarely since, was disentangled from a minor entanglement in late July. Ampersand, the 1988 calf of Buckshot, has been around for the first time in years. It's been great seeing these big adult whales staying around the area.
Fin whales were very abundant in late August; on one day, we saw almost thirty of them! We even saw a few breaching fin whales, which are very rare. However, their numbers have thinned out in the past week. We continue to be puzzled by a general lack of sightings of Atlantic white-sided dolphins; as good as the year has been for big whales, it has been one of the poorest for dolphin sightings in recent memory. We still have seen them sporadically, but they are rarely seen more than once every week or so.
August 9, 2006
July and August have been incredibly busy at The Whale Center. We apologize to our loyal readers who are patiently awaiting a new update. We have been active with whale watch trips, Silver II research trips and our annual cooperative effort with the Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary. This year, Kate Sardi and Cara Pekarcik joined scientists from the Sanctuary, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, The University of New Hampshire, Duke University, and The University of Hawaii and for a two-week tagging cruise. For more information, please see Cara's summary below. Whales have been seen in large numbers over the past few weeks! Open mouth feeding (see photo) and breaching are regular occurrences on trips to Stellwagen Bank. Please read on to hear memorable moments from some of our staff scientists.
Laura Ganley (1st year naturalist; 2005 summer intern; senior at The University of New Hampshire):
Humpback whales were stretched out as far as the eye could see near the southern portion of Stellwagen Bank. The majority of these humpback whales were spending their time feeding at or near the surface. Most of them were kick feeding, or slamming their tails down on the surface of the water. This behavior is possibly used to stun the fish swimming near the surface. I saw a wide variety of surface behaviors including breaching (when the whale jump out of the water), bubble feeding (common when whales are feeding on schooling fish), flipper slapping, and spy hopping (see photo) all on more then one occasion from more then one whale. At certain points during the trip I could look in any direction around the boat and see at least five bubble clouds forming at the surface. Some of the humpback whales that I identified included Fulcrum (female, 1997 calf of Chimney), Splice (male, first seen in 1987), and Colt (male, 1981 calf of Crane).
Jenn Tackaberry (1st year naturalist; 2005 fall intern; graduate of Colby College):
During a trip to northern Stellwagen Bank, I saw Whisk's calf alone at the surface tail breaching (see photo) and flipper slapping. Whisk was nowhere to be found! After a few minutes of watching the calf, Whisk (female, 1987 calf of Purity) and Firefly (female, first seen in 1990) charged to the surface after a deep dive. They took just a few breaths at the surface before another deep dive. This behavior is sometimes an indication of deep feeding (when the whales are feeding in the middle and lower portions of the water column). Another trio of humpbacks moved into the area including: Vulture (female, first seen in 1998) & calf, and Pele (first seen in 1997). While the adults feed on fish below the surface, both calves spent their time using surface behaviors to expend some extra energy and improve their strength. On another trip to northern Stellwagen, I saw Dyad (female, first seen in 1987) & calf. Dyad was kick feeding at the surface. She has a very unique feeding style that makes her easy to recognize - even from a distance. She uses her pectoral flippers (roughly where human arms are in comparison) in addition to her head and tail to slam the surface of the water. While she used this combination of head breach/flipper/kick/bubble feeding, her young calf swam around the outside of the bubbles trumpeting (creating a loud sound through the blowholes) and kicking the surface with his tail. During one feeding bout, Dyad came through her bubble net with a wide open mouth and roughly two seconds later, the calf surfaced outside the bubbles with his mouth open; it trumpeted again and headed down on a dive, kicking the surface as it dove. It looked to me like the calf was mimicking mom.
Kathy Gilmour (ten year naturalist; graduate of Salem State College):
We left Gloucester and headed to the NW Corner of Stellwagen Bank in conditions that were chilly at best and rainy at worst. Sometimes when we're kind of dreading going out on the water is when we have our most rewarding trips. Thankfully, today was one of those days. Things were gray and rainy and visibility was limited. Off in the distance I noticed a little bit of splashing and sure enough as we approached we had two humpback whales splashing around. Cajun (male, 1998 calf of Cascade) was lobtailing (repeatedly slamming the tail down on the surface) and Polaris (male, first seen in 1984) was flipper slapping (on it's side and slamming the flipper down on the surface repeatedly). This behavior went on for a quite a while until Cajun suddenly stopped and came over to the boat to check it out. He ended up hanging around right next to the boat. After some time, we moved on to several more whales in the area that were just charging around. We ended the trip with Underline (female, first seen in 1994) doing a variety of splashing including head breaching (when 1/2 of the body comes out of the water and slams down), flipper slapping and quite a few full body breaches. It ended up being the best day I've had all season.
Cara Pekarcik (seven year naturalist; 1999 summer intern; graduate of Southampton College):
 In mid-July, I had the pleasure of joining a group of scientists aboard the NOAA R/V Nancy Foster for our annual tagging cruise. This year, 14 humpback whales were tagged, allowing us to collect close to 100 hours of data. Division (male, 1991 calf of Stingray), Ivee (female, first seen in 1984), Thalassa (female, 1985 calf of Salt), Ursa (female, first seen in 1984) and Zipper (female, first seen in 1985) were among the animals tagged during the trip. For more information about the DTAG and the data analysis, please see the SBNMS website.
Amy Smith (1st year naturalist; 2005 summer intern; senior at Boston College):
If I had to pick a favorite trip over the past month or so I would say it would be a recent Saturday morning trip out of Boston. The weather and visibility made it a perfect day to be out on the water. We saw the full range of humpback whale behaviors that day, from logging to open mouth feeding, and we were even were lucky enough to finish our day seeing breaching and flipper slapping! We saw two mom/calf pairs that day: Whisk (female, 1987 calf of Purity) & calf and Tornado (1988 calf of Fringe) & calf. We also saw Anchor (female, 1983 calf of Square Fin) in the area and got some fantastic looks at Epee (female, first seen in 1997) and Ampersand (male, 1986 calf of Buckshot) open mouth feeding right next to our boat. In the same area we got some amazing looks at fin whales. Two fin whales surfaced directly off the left-hand side of the boat. You could see their white jaw patches below the surface as they were coming up, they were so close! At the end of our trip we saw an unknown humpback whale alternate between breaching and flipper slapping. This particular humpback has been seen in this area throughout the summer. We have tried to match this individual to our catalog, but we have not been successful. This whale will most likely be named in the spring along with the other unknown humpback whales photographed in the area. There were other humpbacks around that we didn't even get a chance to look at that day. There was so much activity we could have stayed out there all day!
July 4, 2006
Humpback whales, fin whales and minke whales are returning to Stellwagen Bank in large numbers. Many of the humpback whales that visited Stellwagen Bank early in the spring are returning to feed on sand lance. In addition, Whale Center staff members are photographing new individuals every day. Most trips include looks at kick feeding and/or bubble feeding humpback whales, lunge feeding fin whales and minke whales numbering a dozen or more!
 
Humpback mother/calf pairs continue to occupy the area, including Bilbo & calf, Cardhu & calf, Rapier & calf, Tornado & calf, Trident & calf and our newest mother/calf pair, Octave & calf (female, first seen in 1982). Other humpbacks feeding in the area include, but are not limited to: Abrasion (female, 1997 calf of Right Bar), Chimney (female, 1986 calf of Ebony), Crystal (male, 1980 calf of Salt), Etch-a-sketch (1998 calf of Thalassa), Glo-stick (female, 1997 calf of Scylla), Molson (female, first seen in 1980), Moray (female, first seen in 1979), Nile (female, 1987 calf of Mars), Nine (female, 1989 calf of Molson), Polaris (male, first seen in 1984), Quote (female, first seen in 1984), Sabre (male, first seen in 1980), Scylla (female, 1981 calf of Istar), Teapot (first seen in 1997), Thalassa (female, 1985 calf of Salt), Touch (female, first seen in 1984), Tulip (female, first seen in 1988), Tunguska (male, 1997 calf of Leukos) and Venom (female, 1996 calf of Cardhu).
 
Marine mammals are not the only form of marine life on Stellwagen Bank. Basking sharks, the second largest fish in the world, are also feeding in the area.
Basking sharks, like most of the whales in the area, are filter feeders; they feed exclusively on plankton. Basking sharks can reach lengths of 25-40 feet and spend most of their time at the surface feeding with wide-open mouths. The basking shark uses, gill rakers (small bristle-like protrusions on the inside of the gills) to filter plankton from the water. On a recent trip to Stellwagen Bank, a total of 5 basking sharks were seen in a 1 mile radius. One individual swam right next to the boat, allowing us to see the open mouth and extended gills (see added photo).

The northern portion of Stellwagen Bank is still alive with activity! Sand lances are regularly seen in schools at the surface, creating bait patches for miles. These small bony fish are the preferred prey source for humpback whales on Stellwagen Bank. Humpback whales, fin whales and minke whales are in the area and are seen feeding during many hours each day. During one of our Silver II research trips, a number of humpback whales including Cardhu (female, first seen in 1980) & calf, Tornado (female, 1988 calf of Fringe) & calf, Rapier (female, 1989 calf of Ase), Echo (female, first seen in 1988), Division (1991 calf of Stingray), Reaper (female, 1987 calf of Andromeda), Scratch (female, first seen in 1979), Nile (female, 1988 calf of Mars) and Ase (female, first seen in 1983) were feeding on the northern portion of Stellwagen. The humpbacks used both bubble feeding and kick feeding to corral the sand lance and feed. In some cases, the whales would form small groups to feed in a cooperative manner (see photo of Ase and Nile).
By the end of the Silver II trip, other humpback whales moved into the area to feed. Whale Center staff photographed Shockwave (female, first seen in 1999), Pepper (female, first seen in 1976) and Geometry (male, 1997 calf of Star) feeding in the area. Geometry has a very interesting feeding technique that generally takes both staff members and passengers by surprise. Geometry does not blow bubbles or kick the surface of the water with his tail. Geometry simply lunges through the water with a wide open mouth! When Geometry lunges, almost half of his body is out of the water. We have been watching Geometry feed in the area for the past few weeks, but it is still exciting every time. One of the reasons his feeding behavior is so exciting is because at one minute, the water is flat calm with no sign of prey or a whale and the next minute, the prey jump high out of the water trying to escape Geometry's open mouth. Look at the picture of Geometry and you can see the sand lance in the water around him as well as in his mouth!
While most of the adult humpback whales are taking advantage of the sand lance in the area, the new calves have time to spare. At this time, most of the new calves are between five and seven months old. The calves will continue to nurse from their mothers for a few more months, so they are not generally interested in the sand lance (unless they are practice feeding). Because the mothers are trying to gain as much wait as possible and feed a few times a day, the calves use this time to explore the environment and build their coordination and muscle tone. One calf in particular, Cardhu's calf, has become a favorite of staff and passengers because of his aerial displays and other surface activity. The calf is often seen breaching (see photo), flipper slapping and lobtailing while Cardhu bubble feeds in the distance. Sometimes, Cardhu is separated from her calf by a distance of one mile or more! Additional humpback whales: Tongs (female, first seen in 1989), Nuages (female, 1989 calf of Lace), Valley (female, first seen in 1985), Fan (female, first seen in 1988), Bilbo (female, first seen in 1977) & calf, Quote (female, first seen in 1984) and Clamp (female, 1990 calf of Octave) & calf.
Birds are also visiting the northern portion of Stellwagen Bank for prey (sand lance and plankton). Many different species of gulls frequent the area in addition to other pelagic birds like the Northern Gannet and the Wilson's Storm Petrel. In the last two weeks, we have also noticed an influx of shearwaters to the area. Species include: Greater Shearwater (see photo), Sooty Shearwater and Manx Shearwater.

Humpback whales have become a regular sighting on Stellwagen Bank. During the early portion of June, most of the humpback whales were feeding just south of Stellwagen Bank, in some cases, a distance of thirty-five or more miles from Gloucester! Even with the added travel time, passengers and Whale Center staff members were treated to excellent sightings, including numerous mother/calf pairs. Two of the new mothers photographed this year and sighted in the area include Cardhu (first seen in 1980) and Rapier (1989 calf of Ase). While these females fed on abundant sand lance (the primary food source for humpback whales on Stellwagen Bank), their calves delighted all on board with various behaviors. Both calves were born during the winter months in the Caribbean breading grounds. Because they are only 5-7 months old at this time, they are still nursing from their mothers and will not begin feeding on fish for several more months. Therefore, the calves use this time to strengthen their muscles and expend extra energy by flipper slapping, lob-tailing and breaching (see photo). These humpback whales can also spend time investigating objects in their environment. During a particular trip in early June, Rapier's calf spent time swimming around one of the whale watch vessels. The calf often rolled belly-up at the surface, lifting both pectorals flippers out of the water and swam underneath the vessel numerous times.
One of the most exciting behaviors occurred near the end of the trip when Rapier's calf began spy-hopping next to the boat. During spy-hopping, humpback whales bring their heads out of the water vertically. In some cases, they lift their heads so far out of the water, you can even see the eye on either side of the head. The photograph taken during the trip shows the barnacles and stovebolts (large bumps on the head that are actually hair follicles) that are found on humpback whales. The image also shows the all white pigment of the underside of the calf's body. This pigment varies between each humpback whale, just like the black and white pigmentation pattern on the underside of the tail. In addition to mother/calf pairs, other humpback whales, fin whales and minke whales were seen in the area. Humpback sighted include: Echo (female, first seen in 1988), Glo-stick (female, 1997 calf of Scylla), Hancock (female, 1991 calf of Clipper), Nuages (female, 1989 calf of Lace), Plateau (female, first seen in 1995), Reaper (female, 1987 calf of Andromeda), Salt (female, first seen in 1976) & calf, Scratch (female, first seen in 1979), Scylla (female, 1981 calf of Istar), Tongs (female, first seen in 1989) and Tornado (female, 1988 calf of Fringe) & calf.
During the past few days, humpback whales have started to move towards the northern portion of Stellwagen Bank. The reason is obvious - large bait patches cover large portions of the area! Some of the humpback whales that were identified on the southern part of Stellwagen Bank showed up in the northern area. These humpback whales took advantage of the bait patches, using high-speed lunges, bubble nets and kick-feeding to corral prey. Cardhu, traveling with her tenth recorded calf, used bubble clouds to feed. Cardhu dove down below schools of sand lance and released a large bubble that forms an air layer surrounding the fish. The air layer caused the fish to form a tight ball near the center of the bubbles. Shortly after the bubbles broke the surface, Cardhu appeared with her mouth wide open. Cardhu extends her time at the surface, usually keeping her head tilted at about 45 degrees to allow the salt water to flow out of the baleen. During all of this feeding commotion, gulls, gannets and petrels fly down to grab the fish left behind during the feeding (see photo). Sometimes, the birds even land on her head! Cardhu continued to feed in the manner for most of the day. Other humpback whales photographed in the area included: Clamp (female, 1990 calf of Octave) & calf, Division (1991 calf of Stingray), Geometry (male, 1997 calf of Star), Nile (female, 1987 calf of Mars), Pepper (female, first seen in 1976), Reaper, Tongs, and Valley (female, first seen in 1985).
In addition to the many humpback whales in the area, Whale Center staff members have also noted a large number of minke whales in the area. The minke whales are most likely in the area feeding on the large sand lance. As many as 15-20 minke whales have been reported on a single trip. The minke whale is the smallest baleen whale seen in this area. They are characterized by a white patch of color on each pectoral flipper, affectionately referred to a the minke mittens (white patches in photo).

The past two weeks brought tremendous rain and wind to the New England area, trapping The Whale Center of New England staff members on land. Trips ventured out near the end of last week and continue to visit Stellwagen Bank. Whale sightings are more spread out than the previous updates indicated.
Humpback whales continue to move around the area with occasional bubble feeding and surface activity. Recently, Cajun (male, 1998 calf of Cascade) treated passengers to an up-close and personal look. During the first surfacing, Cajun was traveling with an unidentified juvenile and Raccoon, however, within a few minutes, Cajun left the other two humpbacks and traveled toward the vessel. For the next thirty minutes, Cajun interacted with the vessel (referred to as close-to-boat behavior). Cajun surfaced very close to the boat and occasionally brought his rostrum vertically out of the water (spy-hopping). Cajun also lifted his tail high out the water on numerous occasions, allowing passengers and Whale Center staff a look at the underside of his tail. Cajun has a predominantly white pigmentation paper on the tail, with just a few areas of black. One of those areas, on the lower left fluke resembles a pair of chile peppers. Cajun received his name because of this mark (see photo).
On another recent trip south of Stellwagen Bank Anchor, Cardhu & calf, Leonid, and Rapier & calf were seen. The most memorable part of the trip was watching Cardhu flipper slap at the surface. Cardhu is a large female with flippers reaching at least 12-15 feet and weighing close to 2,000 pounds! She continued this behavior over the course of the next thirty minutes while her calf and Leonid surfaced randomly nearby. It is rare to see this type of behavior with any humpback whale, but seeing an adult female flipper slapping is certainly a special event.
May 6, 2006 - Earth Day Whale Watch
The Whale Center of New England's annual Earth Day Whale Watch fundraiser on May 6th was a huge success! We saw six cetacean species, including minke, fin, humpback, and North Atlantic right whales, plus harbor porpoise and Atlantic white-sided dolphins. We left the dock at 9 am heading towards Stellwagen Bank and the aggregation of feeding humpback whales that has been in the area since early April. We came upon group after group of humpback whales, almost all of which were feeding on sand lance, small schooling fish, which we observed in huge patches at the surface (see photo).
The entire area was alive with activity. Humpback whales kicked the surface of the water and blew bubbles in order to aggregate the fish into dense schools to feed more efficiently (see photo). We saw at least a dozen or more minke whales and just as many fin whales, all of which were most likely feeding on sand lance, as well. By the end of the day, we estimated that we had seen over 1000 dolphins, because they were spread out over miles.
We counted 34 humpback whales total for the day. They included one new mother/calf pair for the season: Cardhu (female, first seen in 1980 and one of our adopt-a-whales) and her calf. We also saw many other adult humpback whales, such as Salt (female, first seen in 1976) and her 10th recorded calf (Soya), Meteor (male, first seen in 1981), Black Hole (female, first seen in 1998), Sabre (male, first seen in 1980), Teapot (first seen in 1997), Tongs (female, first seen in 1989), Geometry (male, 1997 calf of Star), Eruption (female, 1999 calf of Dusky), Molson (female, first seen in 1980), Bandit (male, first seen in 1988), Echo (female, first seen in 1988), Reflection (female, first seen in 1992), Nile (female, 1987 calf of Mars), and many others. Some of the highlights were seeing a group of five humpback whales, including Salt, feeding side by side; Teapot lunging vertically almost halfway out of the water; and a juvenile humpback whale that was chasing fish beneath the water right under the bow!
One of the most amazing parts of the trip was that we had over a dozen North Atlantic right whales (see photo), which is over three percent of the entire population! Although whale watches are not allowed to approach right whales closely, we did get beautiful distant looks at right whales skim feeding on plankton at the surface and even breaching!
April 26, 2006
Scientists and interns from The Whale Center of New England anxiously awaited the first trip of the year, and we are finally happy to announce that the 2006 research season officially started on Wednesday, April 12th. Although rough sea conditions and rain caused some to be a little uncomfortable over the past week and a half, the incredible whale sightings made it all worth while. Fin whales, humpback whales, minke whales, North Atlantic right whales and Atlantic white-sided dolphins were recorded and photographed on both the northern and southern portions of Stellwagen Bank.
Although finding a whale can be difficult at any time during the year, spring can be even more difficult because the numbers of vessels traveling through the whale feeding grounds are limited. This partial coverage of Stellwagen Bank and other feeding areas usually means long days of searching are required before a single whale sighting. Fortunately, this was not the case during the past week. The season started off with sightings of a few humpback whales and fin whales near the southern portion of the bank. Over the next few days, reports of whales near the northern part of Stellwagen led The Whale Center of New England staff to an area rich in whale and bird activity (including diving northern gannets - see photo).
On two memorable occasions, staff scientist Kathy Gilmour, along with spring interns Sabreena Kasbati, Natalie Leyva and Christie McMillan, experienced the thrill of a lifetime when they were surrounded by numerous surface feeding adult humpback whales. Identified humpback whales included: Loon (female, first seen in 1985), Firefly (female, first seen in 1990), Owl (female, 1986 calf of Falco), Patchwork (first seen in 1997), Molson (female, first seen in 1980), Nile (female, 1987 calf of Mars), and Rapier (female, first seen in 1989) and calf. The surface feeding included whales using bubbles to corral their prey and whale that used bubbles in combination with a behavior called lobtailing. These whales slam their tails down on the surface of the water, presumably to stun the prey at the surface just before a dive. Whether using bubbles, lobtailing or a combination of the two techniques, the whales reappear with a wide open mouth full of prey (see photo).
Other humpbacks photographed over the last week and a half: Valley (female, first seen in 1985), Ursa (female, first seen in 1984), Shark (female, first seen in 1984), Whisk (female, 1987 calf of Purity) and calf, Echo (female, first seen in 1988), Thalassa (female, 1985 calf of Salt), Geometry (male, 1997 calf of Star), Mars (female, first seen in 1979), Sabre (male, first seen in 1980) and Appaloosa (female, first seen in 1983).
In addition to the numerous humpback whales in the area, passengers and Whale Center staff were thrilled by close encounters with fin whales, minke whales and Atlantic white-sided dolphins. This cold-water species of dolphin is more common in the spring and fall, when the water temperature is cooler. This is the only species of odontocete, or toothed whale, regularly seen in the area. Like most toothed whales, dolphins travel in family groups called pods (see photo). In recent sightings, pods of 50-100 individuals have been recorded. North Atlantic right whales were also sighted in the area. Because of a mandatory no-approach zone around right whales, vessels keep their distance. Even at a distance, right whales are a rare sight. Less than 350 are estimated in the world-wide population.
