‘Bob the minke whale’ lost for fourth day in Long Beach’s Rainbow Harbor

Whale expert Alisa Schulman-Janiger’s camera clicked away as the fin of a minke whale breached the water’s surface, she just standing feet away.
It was a rare occurrence for her, she usually spies whales through binoculars leading an annual count of migrating grays from the Palos Verdes Peninsula. But it is also rare for a whale, especially a minke, to be cruising around Long Beach’s inner harbor waters.
“It just made a big splash! Oh, oh — what is it doing?”
