Aloha fans616,
Nice video. Good shots of the Humpbacks with your P4 Pro. Drones are quickly becoming a regular research tool for cetaceans. I think this population is the one that goes down to the Mediterranean in and outside of Gibraltar, Azores, Madeira and the Cape Verde Islands. Humpback Whales make the longest migrations of any mammal. Hawai'i and Mexico split the Alaskan population in their migration. Sometimes some of them go to Mexico and sometimes some of them decide to come to Hawai'i. Each whale is identified by the white patterns on their flukes. pectoral fins and their dorsal fin so they know it is the same whale.
It is good to see they are rebounding there to after being so endangered. They do look like there is plenty to eat! With winter coming, they should be just about ready to migrate.
Mahalo for sharing the video. Great shots! Their diving patterns up there are very different from their diving patterns after they migrate toward the equator, at least as much as your video shows. Interesting.
Aloha and Drone On! |
