Very hard to get a shot of a whale feeding on the surface. Did the best
I could with what I shot.

The large group;

The smaller group to the north:

And a short pelican flight, because I like pelicans:

Damn! The birds are insane! Was there someone in a kyak out there
close in the first clip? I'd have a coronary event if I were that
close in a kyak...

Incredible to hear the breathing. I've heard orcas breathing, the
blue sounds much deeper.

Whereabouts were you?

Thanks for posting. Very cool.

Hi;
The location is on the video description. This was just off the coast
of Santa Monica Bay, Los Angeles, California. Between 5 and 10 miles out.

The local fisherman who told me of this told me Monday was the best day.
He said it was much larger Monday. People were being splashed by
flukes. It had been going on for three days.

To have this go on this close to shore is very unusual. No one I've
talked to has seen it before.

There were several kayaks and paddle boards. A lot of people think
swimming with whales is cool, I think they shouldn't interfere with
wildlife.
