 I didn't obtain that many above water fluke IDs this trip because I spent a lot more time in the water. I do have some good underwater fluke IDs but it takes a bit longer to process the video and extract the still frames, so bear with me. If you can match any of these flukes, please let me know   Jonathan Gwalthney has matched the fluke above right to Provincetown's Centre for Coastal Studies catalogue Mets, a Gulf of Maine whale last seen in 2008. Mets was first seen in the Gulf of Maine in 2003       Above left is Pixar, identified by Leah Crowe as a Gulf of Maine whale. Pixar was born in 2000 and has been seen regularly in the Gulf of Maine until this past season  Above a young calf showing off its fluke. Usually these are not any use to us as a fluke ID because they can change so much the first year, but he was bound and determined to show it off to us so I might as well add it here
