7-19-13 Part 2 - Scoter and the Tag Wound

Friday, July 19th
...when K and L pod whales came up past the lighthouse this morning I was hoping to get a better (see 7-8-13) image of Scoter's tag wound...
...as he approached...

...it's obvious to see that something is not right....these whales don't have obvious protruding bumps on their dorsal fins...

...zooming in closer...

...in this next picture notice the grey area around the wound...

...he might have metal still in him...not good in my world...I've sent my images on to the Center for Whale Research...
...maybe next time Scoter will come in another 100 feet closer...I might be able to see more detail...
