Whale Watching in Maui

 Being a naturalist with Pacific Whale Foundation has its benefits and as I tell people on the boats, its pretty easy waking up excited in the mornings...even at 4:30am!
 On our whale watches today we had so many humpback encounters that I've lost count. We have also seen every behavior in the book from tail throws, to tail slaps, breaches, head lunges, competition pods, spy hops, and lots of whale songs. These pictures just show a little of what you can see out here during whale season.
