 WEST SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) - Marine scientists trying to lure two injured whales out of a river prepared Friday for Plan B: Herding the animals by boat while banging pipes underwater.
In the meantime, a marine mammal rescue crew aboard a Coast Guard cutter stuck with the original strategy of playing recorded sounds of other humpbacks feeding.
The mother whale and calf are stranded at the Port of Sacramento, having hit a dead-end after traveling 90 miles through San Francisco Bay and up the Sacramento River. Their cuts were apparently caused by a boat propeller.
