This has been a crazy last few days. Marisha has been with us and we've done some fun things (I'll post more of that later). While watching Conference at John's parents' house we noticed whales in the ocean. It's not uncommon to see humpbacks or orcas going by but when we watched them they were feeding, which is rare to see. Apparently they fill up before heading over to Hawaii. The last 4 days we've been watching them bubble feed, going back and forth right in the Youngberg's view. Mike was so nice and took us out to watch them up close and personal. Thank you again!
So what they do is circle around in the water, making a circle of bubbles and disorienting the fish, which get trapped in the cirlce of bubbles, then they shoot up with their mouths wide open, eating the fish. Seagulls were hanging out and would swarm right above and before the whales came up.Here's some of what we saw:
