Our Very Own Big Blue Live: Whale Video

Caleb is holding up one of the millions of anchovies (I think?). Where there are fish, there are predators! Look at the ground! See the fish, hoping for a wave to push them back out to sea!

So this weekend our Classical Conversations group got together for a beach bonfire over in Monterey Bay.

PBS and BBC are also in Monterey filming Big Blue Live, which hits t.v. Monday, August 30. You can bet we will be watching. They are here to film the incredible wildlife that is in the bay this time of year.

Can you imagine our excitement when a humpback WHALE decided to join our bonfire and provide the evening’s entertainment?

My friend Amy took this video, and she said I could share it with my friends and family. Enjoy!! This creature swam back and forth all evening, feasting on the bay full of sardines. Just click on the blue video link below, and it will play:

  • That is so amazing! My second favorite animal after moose. I really want to see one from land - it's my life dream.

    • And I have NEVER seen a moose!!! I totally relate to your hunt for a moose! When I get back to the east coast, I am planning some New England moose time.

  • Oh this is so cool! What a wonderful place you live! I am jealous, my javelinas are not nearly as cool as all that :)

  • Neat post and video. I'm glad your family got to see some of God's natural wonders.
