Whales in Lynn Canal, Juneau, Alaska - July 2006



These are Humpback Whales "bubble net feeding".
You can read about this amazing feeding behavior here
And here is a great film clip I found of Humpbacks feeding.




This isn't one of the best photos, but it shows
how close we were to water-level and how close the whales
came to us. I'd say they were less than two or three yards away
and there were at least 10 of them coming up all around our little boat!




Another close-up.








One of my favorite photos.
