Cetaceans in sight for the first time weeks! On February 25, it was from the docks in Les Escoumins<\/strong> that a local resident saw little white spots amidst the big chunks of ice in the Estuary. Yes indeed, it\u2019s a small group of belugas! Most of these \u2018sea canaries\u2019 spend the winter at the mouth of the Gulf of St. Lawrence, where ice is less abundant. However, it is not unusual for some individuals to deviate from this rule and wander farther upstream.<\/p>\n

Not far from there are also dozens of harbour seals, according to local captains. \u201cThere are several along the shoreline! Many have been venturing into the Baie des Escoumins,\u201d they report. On the other side of the river, in the Gasp\u00e9 Peninsula, a resident has also been seeing a handful of harbour seals every day in Gasp\u00e9 Bay<\/strong>. A number of observers have noted that the ice is abundant and thick this year. This is beneficial to those species of seals that frequent Quebec waters, since many of them rely on it to rest and dry off between periods of feeding, as well as to give birth.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
