Tuesday 21 September 2010 - Bears and Hump Back Whales

Next we spotted a black bear foraging on the shore and went over to watch him for a while before continuing on.

After 4 hours in the boat, we stopped for lunch on a remote peninsula before heading north again to enter the Desolation Sound. Coming across a hump back whale we watched him for a while when he suddenly breached right out of the water. Very rare behavior for these waters, where the whales are mainly feeding and not mating or being playful as they are when they go further south. It was magnificent.
Hump Back Whale Tail!
