Another Prince William Sound

Another trip in Prince William Sound!  It rained all the week, until the last day, but we went to a cool spot with a dead "ghost" forest.  And then to the ester Island hatchery, where we found some cool stellar Jays

And some bears

Eating chum salmon

Then looking around

With an eagle in a tree trying to dry off

We also found a sperm whale.  It was super cool.  I used the hydrophone to listen to it pinging its ecolocation as it dived

Here's the tail

I also found a fin whale and got a nice skiff tour with it

You can see its a fin

And a few humpbacks too

Here's one fluking

We found some bubblenetters, and they were lunging upwards, I got a few shots in quick succession

Jaws closing

And more closed

And the water leaks out

Then back down for more!

We also found some nice orcas, they came by to check out the boat.
