Greetings,

I know this is a bit off-topic, but I thought it was interesting enough to
get some word out.

Today's News Journal had a brief piece on 2 Northern Right Whales which have
entered the Indian River Inlet at high tide to feed for 2 consecutive days.
You can read the story at:

Seeing these whales in the Mid-Atlantic is difficult enough, but to have
them coming this close with the opportunity for great looks and study is
truly a rare event.

If you are birding in the area it is definitely worth a look.
