Mackinac Bridge Whalewatching Station September 18, 2024

Researchers at the Mackinac Bridge Whalewatching Station (MBWS) have announced that the 2024 Great Lakes Whale Migration is officially underway!

“Warmer temperatures have once again pushed the migration several weeks earlier, but we are seeing great numbers from all species except of course Orcas who just don’t seem to be that into the Great Lakes,” explained MBWS Chief Cetologist Bonnie Beluga. Lots more on the Lake Michigan Whale Migration Station website.

  1. Hmm – I thought it was a joke, then went to the Facebook site and saw there was a sighting years ago and a whale carcass had washed ashore a few years ago. With climate change, who knows what happens down the road? River Otters are back at th Detroit River … that’s a start anyway. :)
