Humpback whale is in river off Montreal

CBC’s Sarah Leavitt reports that a humpback whale is in the river, under the Jacques-Cartier bridge. This species doesn’t usually make it this far upriver.

Here’s a report from Baleines en direct. Nobody knows why the whale made its way upstream away from the saltwater around Tadoussac where it would usually live.

Fabulous shot by Jacques Nadeau.
