Aerial View of Whale Frolicking Near Long Island

A whale was spotted off the coast near Long Beach, New York, on April 26, with drone operator Jason Belsky on hand to capture footage of the magnificent specimen. The resulting video has gained over 125,000 views on Facebook. Although Jason did not identify the species, humpbacks are known to approach coastal waters and stay close to the surface during migration, as can be seen in the video. Credit: Facebook/Jason Belsky
