Keeping Track with Humpbacks



The Whales Singing?


If I stick my head under the water--or just slip on in completely--what sounds will I hear these humpbacks making at this time of year and in this place?  (In Hawaii, in December 2009, I could hear the humpbacks singing whenever I went swimming.)  

Or, will I just hear the wailing of the anchovies?


Kayaking: Whales Feeding Near the Jetty



Folks on the jetty were treated to a feeding show for over two hours that I witnessed with whales feeding within 10-30 yards. Jeff and I were about to head back into the harbor at the end of the afternoon paddle when two humpbacks in tandem lunged forth and then another humpback spouted right behind us! Too cool!

We didn't get any shots of that finale, but here are two more of my shots of a humpback feeding a little earlier.
