The sunlight is beautiful as it streams through the spruce trees on the East Glacier Trail.
An insistent Steller's Jay often follows us on our tours, waiting for snacks.
On the water, the humpbacks are returning to their feeding grounds. Watching them dive into the deep never gets tiring.
This whale is lunge feeding. Lunge feeding is when a baleen whale lunges its body forward with its mouth open, filtering the water. This whale is lunging on its side along the surface. You can see its ventral pleats, tongue, and even some baleen on the roof of its mouth!
He was having a grand old time and didn't mind us watching him eat one bit. Here's another lunge! See how large he is compared to a nearby boat?
