Humpback Whales, Alaska #3353

Humpback Whales, Alaska #3353

Humpback whales are for the most part rather solitary mammals except for when they are bubble-net feeding. I have counted as many as fifteen humpbacks participating in a bubble-net feeding event. It amazes me how these school-bus-sized mammals organize themselves underwater and are able to ...

Humpback Whales, Alaska #3352

The best place in the world to see humpback whales bubble-net feeding is in the summer waters of Alaska’s Inside Passage. Bubble-net feeding is a cooperative humpback whale behavior. Humpback whales work together to locate and encircle a school of small fish, then blow a net of bubbles around ...

Fall in the Klondike Image #3448

Juneau autumns, especially during the month of October, can be really wet, stormy and kind of miserable. The past couple years I have been taking the ferry from Juneau up to Haines or Skagway. From these two border towns I can drive the dry sunny roads of the Yukon Territory and British ...
