| Megaptera novaeangliae (Humpback Whale) |
|
I have never seen humpbacks do this before. The whale would come up tail first and flick water on the surface. The guide book suggested it help drive food into denser groups. We didn't see it come up like bubble net feeding.
We were anchored, it was late and far from the whale so these images are what I got.
