[CINC] Albino Blue Whale

[Anthony Lombardi]

Glad to hear the albino is still staying close,  I failed to post some info a couple weeks ago.  I took a plane up a couple weeks ago to photograph some Blue and Humpbacks and saw many many whales on that flight and took many pics,  indeed the albino was out and about and I have some pictures online on my website,  the albino is swimming alongside another whale so you can see how light the skin coloration is.  I also have some aerial shots of this whale from two years ago,  and it was during the huge summer population explosion, and it has a tag from Bruce Mate on the whale.  It is an amazing site to see this whale from above and below.  I am still going through my pics,  but just to explain what was seen from above,  indeed Humpbacks and Blues feeding very close to each other, probably not cooperative but one Blue whale with a fully distended lower jaw just below the surface with a Humpback right next to him filling his lower jaw as well, hope
 to have that pic up soon.  There were a lot of Humpbacks and Blues whales in close proximity of each other and yes even the Humpies were pooping the red krill.The pics are on my website:   www.liquidpix.comThere are two galleries one is the aerial Blues recently from 2009 and the other from 2007.
