Northern Gannet plunge diving

Lots of activity and great feeding from the whales and birds while we were off shore.  Above you can see an adult northern gannet plunge diving into the water.  They look like mini torpedoes and do cause quite the splash when they hit the water.  

Humpback, Reaper, kick feeding

Also while we were offshore we saw whales showing varying feeding techniques, Reaper's kick feeding was one of the best shows of the day.  

Atlantic white-sided dolphin

We also saw atlantic white sided dolphin that were coming close to the boat and traveling along with the humpbacks.  They are one of the hardest animals to photograph because of their size and speed but every once in a while you get lucky.  

On our way back inshore we got a glimpse of the harbor seals hauled out on the rocks near the Bug Light.  This is a nice little place to rest early in the spring.
