We are interested in using infrared thermal sensing and imaging equipment to detect humpback whales at night within 1km of shore.  Wayne Perryman conducted night surveys of migrating gray whales along the central California coast in the late 1990s.  Is there anyone who has experience with more recent versions of thermal infrared cameras?
