A few more shots of Delta & Dawn, the '07 #humpback whales that wandered up the #Sacramento River. You can see close-up of Dawn's unhealthy skin (presumably from days in fresh water) & one of the NOAA darts used to deliver antibiotics.

Again, all pics taken from a NOAA vessel with permits.

The news of another #humpback whale wandering too far up the #Sacramento River is a good excuse to share some pics from '07 adventure w/ Delta & Dawn, who have their own Wikipedia entry.
