A drone shot so rare it might as well be a myth: a surface-lunge feeding Blue Whale! Prior to last summer I had never seen a Blue Whale surface lunge feeding on krill. In fact, prior to last year I had never even seen krill on the surface! While this isn’t the first time I’ve filmed this behavior, it IS the first time I can share it with you all here on social media!

With upwards of 100 Blue Whales currently residing in San Diego waters, Erica, Kyle, and I decided to spend the day zooming around the offshore waters of San Diego in hopes of filming something special. We never dreamed that we’d stumble upon a massive area of surface feeding whales nearly 20 miles from shore! Everywhere you looked there was a lunge feeding Fin or Blue Whale!
