As the mercury drops, the weather grows harsher and boats are being docked for the winter, whales are setting out on their annual journey to their winter quarters. A number of them seem to have officially departed the St. Lawrence. In recent weeks, large groups of cetaceans have been reported. However, these impressive gatherings \u2013 likely a sign of migratory movement \u2013 seem to have disappeared. For example, off the coast of Franquelin<\/strong>, just two humpbacks were seen this week, while a large group of at least 50 fin and humpback whales was observed in these waters back on October 21.<\/p>\n

In Les Escoumins<\/strong>, only a single pod of harbour porpoises was spotted. However, with around 40 individuals, it was rather large. This is a stark contrast with last week, however, when very large numbers of cetaceans were present, including sixty or so minke whales. Other whales may have been in the area in recent days, but the lack of eyes on the water and on shore has limited sightings.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
