Whales off of Quidi Vidi Thursday evening (viewed from white hills/east coast trail!)

More and more residents of Newfoundland have been capturing video and photos of whales along the coastlines.

The latest, from Joelle Denise Carey, was taken Thursday night off Quidi Vidi.

A whale was spotted feeding off Maddox Cove on Sunday. (Submitted by Carola Damen)

Carey captured video from White Hills, which gave a perfect view of the whales.

Earlier this week, a whale was spotted in St. John's harbour, much to the surprise of DFO scientist Jack Lawson

Lawson said it's a bit unusual to see whales that close to the coastline.
