Alaska

I posted this in the animals section too, but you guys always seem to give more comments and advice, so I'm posting it here too.

These whales are bubble net feeding - a group feeding behavior where they go under and then all shoot up to the surface together at the same time. The bubbles/air force the fish up out of the water, they scoop them up in their large mouths and then slip back under and all you see is the churning sea. It was quite remarkable and I feel very lucky to have seen this!

We're on the cruise now, so hopefully I'll have some more actual landscape pictures soon!

Great action shot. Where area did this take place?

Great capture! My eyes keep scanning the scene. I can't believe they are so close to shore. Do you have a link for a bigger photo? I'd like to see more detail.

That's awesome Debbie! Great timing to capture nature at it's finest. Good job!

How many are there? There're fins everywhere!

I'm not sure how many there were - looked like anywhere from 6 to 10.

This was in Icy Strait Point, Alaska, right in the bay.

I have more, but I'm still on the ship and internet connections are dodgy at best, so I'll post more when I get home and I can upload this one in a bigger size.

Thanks for the comments!
