[CINC] CX Wed June 30 - the Glutton

[Mr Zalophus]

As I'm sure John Kuizenga will report later, with his usual precision, the
Condor Express spent approximately an hour observing a single lunge-feeding
Humpback Whale on the 100-fathom curve off the northwest side of Santa Rosa
Island yesterday.  The whale lunged repeatedly, stopping only for an
occasional breath (and trumpet call).  I encourage naturalists to take a
look at the images of this dining extravaganza if you have any doubts about
how Humpbacks feed on krill.  The images from the day are now posted to the
boat photo site.  Remember to click the "Map This" button to see exactly
where all the action was.
