Sighting of rare whale off Vancouver Island astonishes researchers

The coast of Vancouver Island is home to many whale species, but on recent afternoon, a researcher noticed an unfamiliar animal in the water — a right whale, a species that is both rare and endangered. Troy Bright, who works with Bere Point Research, made the sighting around 3:30 p.m. on Sunday, June 14, at his research station along the Queen Charlotte Strait. He says he first mistook the whale for a more common humpback, but then took a closer look through the viewfinder on his camera. That left no question. The whale was a right whale.
