Video I Shot Of A Humpback Whale Lunge Feeding (video)

I just banged this out as an exercise in getting familiar with the crappy editing software that came with my camera.

Anyways, here’s a humpback lunge feeding near Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary.

There Is Some Seriously Good Whale Watching Off Cape Cod Right Now

Last week, we went on a whale watching tour out of Provincetown, Mass. We saw around 2 dozen humpback whales feeding. It was whale soup out there. Sometimes you’d look up and see 3 – 5 whales feeding, blowing and/or diving.

Above are a couple pics my wife took. She pretty much snapped a few pictures and then said, “Forget it. I’m here to watch whales, not take pictures.” I’ve got a lot more video I need to edit together, but I’ll try to post some soon.

Also, a WAWD reader reports seeing 3 mother/calf humpback combos, 3 minkes, and a dozen or so finbacks on a trip out of Hyannis earlier this week.

And on your way out to Provincetown, be sure to stop and eat at Moby Dick’s in Wellfleet!

At Moby Dick's, the food tastes good when you eat it.
