| An exceptional treat on the 30 Sep 2006 Monterey Bay Seabirds trip
was a cooperative Humpback Whale putting on a series of full-body breaches. |
|
| As it engaged in this impressive behavior again and again, there was
an opportunity to try multiple shots. Here's a whole sequence while again
whale surfaced nearby:
|
| During each breech, there are impressive views of the long grooved
pleats on the throat, the barnacles that invariably attach themselves to
each whale, and the giant pectoral fins . . . |
|
| and each ends with a resounding splash that can be seen (and heard)
for mile. |
|
| In all, a rousing performance . . . |
