Went out yesterday to watch the whales feeding. I was told about this a
couple of days ago but didn't go until yesterday. It was amazing. I've seen lots of whales, but never like this. They are usually migrating, not feeding like these were. There were a million sea birds, so many krill the sea turned silver. The ocean sounded like it was carbonated. Then there were groups of whales spouting as they cruised the surface feeding. No spectacular diving with the flukes following it under, they just rolled on their sides and ate their fill. My fish finder showed the sea to be a solid mass of fish, hundreds of feet deep. I've never seen so much sea life in one spot. There were several of these spots, by the way. You could see that the whales were herding the krill into the center of a big circle, a couple of miles across. Must have looked like a scene out of whaling 150 years ago. You could almost imagine the mast head lookout on a whaling ship seeing exactly the same scene. I've seen many whales, but they are usually cruising along, never like this. Not my video, mine has to be edited, and there's a lot to edit. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8YtC-VagE4Y |
