Whale Avila Feeding

Again, not the best quality photo, but I thought this one was interesting. If you look to the right of his mouth, you can see all the fish flying out. These fish are the reason all the whales, dolphins, pelicans etc. are in the port.

View large if you have time, you can see the fish much better.

@ktmac12 Hi Katherine, In Central California. This shot was taken in a small shot fishing harbor called Avila Beach. Every year we get some whale action, nit not usually this close. I shot this from the road overlooking the harbor.

@catwhiskers That's what I love about 365 is seeing the amazing sights from around the world! I was wondering if you'd gone out on a boat, that would have been rather hairy!

thank you so much for sharing these amazing pictures. I have been following the reports on how close these amazing animals have come this time. they see extremely gentle as they glide out of the water to get their fill. Very beautiful picture. It tells an amazing story.

@sailingmusic Not that I know of. Mine are not that good. However one of the members of my camera club had his go viral. His shot is the one of the people on te boat right behind the whale along with the girl in a dress on a SUP snapping a shot with her point and shoot.
