Two species of rare beaked whales beached in Maine within weeks of each other

TIMES RECORD • July 16, 2020

The first, a Blainville's beaked whale, was found in York, while the second, a Sowerby's beaked whale, was found in Phippsburg just a few weeks later. Local experts say these deep-diving whales should not be in coastal waters, but have no clue as to what brought them here or what happened to them.
