As Quebec slowly gets deeper into autumn, foliage reaches its peak and the wind gusts and rain grow more intense, boat owners are gradually taking their craft out of the water and fewer and fewer observers are venturing out to sea. The whales are still here\u2026 but for how much longer?<\/p>\n

In the St. Lawrence Estuary, the few whale-watching boats that continue to operate are being rewarded with numerous sightings. Off the coasts of\u00a0Les Escoumins<\/strong> and Les Bergeronnes<\/strong>, there are still seven to ten fin whales, including\u00a0\u201cTi-Croche<\/a>\u201d, and five humpbacks, including\u00a0H930<\/a>,\u00a0H944<\/a>,\u00a0H943<\/a> and\u00a0H918<\/a>. \u201cThese are the die-hards, the last ones to linger out of the approximately 25 humpbacks that came to visit us this season,\u201d writes photographer Renaud Pintiaux.<\/p>\n

We expect that they will soon make their way to the islands… But which ones? For example, it is known that H930 was observed last winter off the coast of Guadeloupe, while most St. Lawrence humpbacks spend the colder months in Dominican waters. Will it follow its summer companions, or will it choose to return to the French Caribbean?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
