In a rare sighting in local waters or anywhere in the world, a right whale and her new calf swim off East Hampton earlier this month. There are fewer than 400 right whales alive today. This photograph of right whale No. 3720 was cropped and taken from a distance greater than 500 yards to assure the animals’ safety. Boaters should maintain safe distances if they spot a right whale.
