Live Whale Song

Today's post at the Whaling Museum blog links to the website of Jupiter Foundation, which is streaming live from hydrophones placed off the island of Hawaii. It's "humpback season" there.

The whales are starting to arrive with the peak month being February, so we should hear more and more singing.

Follow the links and listen in.
