Humpback mom and calf from the westside of Douglas Island

When we first arrived on the beach we noticed a large humpback logging at the surface of the water in the middle of the channel between Douglas and Admiralty Island.  A few seconds later we noticed a very small humpback swimming around near the whale that was logging.  It was obvious it was a mother and calf.  I have heard that whale #1538, aka Smudge or Flame has a calf with her this year.  Although I was never able to confirm if this was Flame, I cannot help but think it was.  We have seen Flame on several occasions.  I last took a photo of her in Fritz Cove on December 21, 2018.  It is very fascinating to think that she left Alaska sometime after that, swam all the way to Hawaii, had a calf, and is back in Alaska.  That seems like such short amount of time.
