Humpback Whale Female with Calves in Multiple Seasons in Tonga

I have photo documented this humpback whale female (Megaptera novaeangliae) with calves in Tonga in multiple seasons, including 1999, 2002, 2005 (pictured here), 2008, 2009, 2012, and 2014. Many people have contributed photos and video sightings, making this an excellent example of citizen science.
