The Whipple Collaboration has been observing BL Lac objects with redshifts less than 0.1 in high energy γ-rays utilizing the Whipple Observatory's 10 meter imaging telescope using the atmospheric Cherenkov technique. BL Lacertae objects are particularly interesting candidate sources of very high energy γ-rays because their jets, which may have regions where particles can be accelerated to very high energies, are nearly directed along our line of sight. Two Blazars, Mkn 421 and Mkn 501, have been detected by the Whipple group and monitored over several observing seasons. Recent upgrades of the imaging camera have made feasible a search for outbursts at 300 GeV on timescales of hours. Results on variabilty and energy spectra will be presented. Evidence for a third source will also be given.
