One More Whale Report From An Amazing Trip

I hope you all will tolerate one more post from our recent whale watching trip with Cape Ann Whale Watch. If you are AT ALL interested, this is a very very good opportunity to go out on one of the whale watches for a spring outing. It’s well worth the time and expense. These photos were among the ones I was able to get using my telephoto lens. You see some feeding behavior here which is an exceptional photo opp all by itself. In this case, the whales were “kickfeeding” which means they were slapping the tail on the water to stun the fish and then (often) blowing bubbles to further confuse the fish into staying close together allowing the whale to maximize the big swallow gulp of fish. Feeding whales attracts sea birds as you see here. Again, we had a super memorable adventure just a few days ago and while you can never be sure what you might see, this is a great time to go out if you are able.
