First Whale of the Season, photo by Lake Michigan Whale Migration Station
The Lake Michigan Whale Migration Station has posted the first “confirmed” sighting of a whale for the summer of 2017:
This is the first confirmed whale sighting of the season on Lake Michigan. We appreciate the photo, however we strongly advise against getting this close to a whale. The kayak party from Lombard, IL spent the 4th of July weekend near Good Hart, MI. They reported seeing from the beach what looked like whale activity 200-300 yards offshore.
We expect more reports over the next 2-3 weeks and appreciate any efforts to share them with us via Facebook Message. Please record location, date and time of sightings, and stay at least 30 yards away from migrating whales. Stay safe!

Uhhhhhh…. Shouldn’t this have been posted on April 1?….
The Lake Michigan Whale Migration Station is in operation year round!!! :D
where are they migrating to? Lake Huron? lol
How do they get past the Soo Locks?
I think they buy 60 tickets for one of the Lock Tour boats.
Comment of the Day: We have a winner!!!
You know that this is a hoax, don’t you? Snopes.com explains that these are digitally manipulated photos. No whales in Lake Michigan—sorry.
Yes Pam. I am pretty darn smart and well versed Michigan’s flora & fauna and the internet. We Michiganders often call things like this “humor” ;)
It is harder to tell fact from fiction these days. I’m checking snopes more often and not laughing as much. For a minute, I thought you might be a Republican.

Hilarious! This one is probably migrating to the warm waters off the coast of Chicago.
But they have a FaceBook page!! ;)
I think it is only fair that you should acknowledge that this is totally fiction.

Where’s the fun in that?
Thanks for the laugh.
Thank YOU for laughing! :D
Does that mean we have to alter the T-shirts that read ‘5 Great Lakes and no sharks’? 🤣
Oh you!
As a Southerner, the upper Midwest seems such a strange place that suspension of disbelief is my default outlook.
Strange mostly in good ways.
I took the bait.
I’m still chuckling to myself about my gullibility.
Thanks!
They should have inserted the bridge into the pic for more realism…………… and maybe a Shepler boat!
