While in Juneau on the return cruise, we took Big Red for a whale watch tour. We saw orcas, humpbacks, seals, otters and lots of eagles. The eagles were everywhere -- many standing on the shore, perched on the pilings and flying over the boat, just like the seagulls would do in Florida. There were several pods of humpbacks, and they were bubble feeding -- they surround the fish and blow bubbles to get them into a tight group, then the feeding frenzy starts. Unfortunately, the orcas were never close to the boat, but I included some pics of them anyway. We even got to hear to hear their calls as they were feeding.

These first three pictures are some of the orkas we saw.

These are the humpback whales.
