Whale Behaviors Caught on SD Card


Got  lucky today with some whale action.  First we have the "spy hop" whereby a whale will partially expose itself to see what's going on around it on the surface.




Here's a calf breaching out of the water seemingly in play, a.k.a. "The Flying Pickle."  I've heard some theories as to why whales breach, but you know what, I haven't met anyone who can speak whale, so I can't be sure.  It really is cool though!
