Nature

A place to discussion nature on Farcaster

Was it worth waking up before the sun? Absolutely. The iPhone isn’t great at nature photography from far away, but it’s absolutely Whale Wednesday in Okinawa! The humpbacks are here for another month mating and giving birth before they head back to the Bering Strait. There is no krill here for them to eat, but the waters are safe so they like hanging out here.  I saw 4 of them jump today. Probably all males desperate to impress the ladies.

The tour company asked us to submit all of our tail pictures because each tail of a whale is like a fingerprint and completely unique to them! There are between 1,000 to 1,500 whales in the waters around Okinawa now and there are entire science teams who go out daily to track and study them! I sincerely hope my photo helps them!

This is a great photo. It’s so interesting that their tails are like fingerprints and they can catalog them. 

We took photos from British Columbia and submitted them too. 

Citizen science is so awesome 👏

We are life partners & photographers with many interests. Storm chasing/spotting is one of our passions

Oooh yes and GPS coordinates!  

This is so cool!  But then I’m a science geek. lol 

We do this when we storm chase and see like for example tornadoes etc… and we report to the weather agencies

It’s the best! I love that we can collectively contribute! I even have the GPs coordinates of the spotting! It’s too coo!
