Whale watching yet again

The water spout from the humpback whale..can you see the colors on the spray?, originally uploaded by digijinx.

Whale watching yet again in Province town,MA. The cape was amazingly warm for end of September and we also visited Marconi point. In case you are wondering...Marconi was the inventor of radio and telegraph.
Here is the link to the set of photos

The Marconi beach was so beautiful and I didnt feel like going back..but I had to. The whales were logging, (resting) and moving around as usual. We again spotted two mother and calf pairs. The humpback whales are migrating to the Carribean for the winter and they breed there and come back. I learnt a little about baleen whales (they are the toothless ones) in this trip.

Whale watching in the Cape Cod

Nothing can describe this experience. I was skeptical at first too...when I was thinking about whale watching..but when you really see them...gosh they are humungous and specatcular. The videos are a little shaky because the ferry kept bobbing up and down with the waves, so the quality is not so good and may be the videos are not that spectacular since they were shot with the canon powershot A510



Did you know that waves leave footprints on the water too? The oil from their bodies washes out to the surface and creates a big circular oil slick! (whales are hunted for this oil), the males are BULLS and the females COWS and the young are calves. On my whale watching trip in the Atlantic Ocean I spotted 22 Humpback whales.



There was this one whale named Anchor, who did the flipping (officially termed as Breaching...and also Lobtailing) That was really something special. I was watching it flip so I did not really bother to capture it...may be another time. The lobtailing video is the last one.
