Fluke of Half Note Confirmed in the catalog

Half Note @949

On May 10, 2016, Kate Spencer and the California Whale Rescue team were working to disentangle another whale (ID unknown) when Half Note became very curious. He or she was rolling to look at an entangled whale, breached a few times them came up to the entangled whale, went off, and breached again, came back again. Meanwhile, hooray for the disentanglement team for a successful action on the entangled whale! Half Note has been known since at least 2010 thanks to the work of Cascadia Research Collective and collaborating researchers. Also formerly HW-MN0500458
