Lunging for Lunch

When I say that you never know what to expect while photographing (and exploring) in the Great Bear Rainforest, I really mean it.

 

We were headed out in the zodiac to photograph a rock with some Harbor Seals on it, when we suddenly saw this Humpback Whale lunge feeding along the shoreline.  Needless to say, we skipped the Harbor Seals, and followed the Humpback.

 

Lunge feeding is one of the ways that Humpbacks Whales use to get the small bait fish that they eat, where they lunge out of the water with their mouths open to try to get as many fish as possible.  I couldn’t believe how high this Humpback was coming out of the water.
