Lunge Feeding Blue Whales: Rare Drone Footage of this Spectacular Behavior!

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! If you enjoyed this special footage, please like, subscribe, and share! If you want to see Blue Whales with me in person please visit and book a tour this summer! Filmed by myself: Domenic Biag
