Humpback Whales are very large creatures. They are huge, even from a distance. I wouldn't know this, except that for the past three winters, I have traveled to an island, in the Atlantic Ocean, that happens to be on one of the migration routes of humpbacks. And, from the back deck of my temporary residence, they appear, right there in the sea, in groups or pairs, several times a day.
Scientifically, quite a lot is known about Humpbacks. Folks have studied their migration routes, feeding habits, mating and calf rearing practices. If you are interested, a lot of this information is on the Internet. What's more, you may listen to whales, communication with each other, via sites like Tick Toc.
So, as you might imagine, I like these guys! I pretend that my "back-yard buddies", are just swimming along, on their little five-thousand-mile journey, and as they float by, they wave their giant fins at me and sometimes even leap out of the water, to show-off a bit. Sometimes, they just blow me a waterspout, just to let me know they are passing by. You know, sort of like blowing a kiss.
Whales are special.....and big!
