Grateful thanks are extended to all that have helped to identify the whales in many of the images, but especially to Regina
Asmutis-Silvia, Carol Carson, Sue Rocca, Joanne Jarzobski, and Jooke Robbins, who have helped confirm so very many.

Thanks to Leah Horeanopoulos for providing the PCCS Humpback Whale Sightings 2007 Dorsals Index file.

A Word on Image Quality - Please note that all of my own images on this web site have been processed and highly compressed.
This has been done to keep file storage and bandwidth requirements as low as reasonably possible.  Nonetheless, although the
images provided here may therefore be somewhat grainy, they should still be usable for identification purposes (which is, after
all, the principal purpose of the web site) - they just won't be as "pretty" as would be ideal (for which I apologize - I am sorry).
