Ben -
Wow, that is alot to try to tell you in one email! I'll answer specific
questions that you might have, and I'll help you in your search: If you
are having trouble finding information on the bowhead, try these links (if
you have easy access to the web):
A good 'fact sheet' page:
http://www.acsonline.org/acs/factpack/bowhead.htm
Tons of info on natural history:
http://www.nps.gov/bela/html/bowhead.htm
Also, try searching the Whalenet site!
Please write to me again if you have any specific questions about bowheads!
Good luck on your project.
Aloha -
Jen
