“…The study presented here focused on waters of Bermuda (Figure 1), an archipelago of roughly 180 islands used as a mid‐migration resting or stopover site in the spring (starting in mid‐February and peaking in mid‐March through April, when water temperatures range from 20°C to 22°C) for North Atlantic humpback whales (Grove et al, 2023; Homfeldt et al, 2022) returning from winter breeding grounds in the Caribbean. After staying briefly (typically 1–2 weeks, although with great variation, including some humpbacks potentially spending most of the winter near Bermuda), humpbacks head north to widespread summer feeding grounds in the Western or Eastern North Atlantic, in regions ranging from the Gulf of Maine, Eastern Canada, Greenland, Iceland, and Norway (Grove et al, 2023). Typically, humpbacks, like other whales, generally forage entirely or almost exclusively seasonally on summer grounds (Nichols et al, 2022; Savoca et al, 2021), but they feed opportunistically at lower latitudes (Findlay et al, 2017; Pirotta et al, 2021).…”
