‘Spectacular’: Video shows group of humpback whales feeding in water off Cape Cod
A group of humpback whales were spotted feeding in the water off Cape Cod on Sunday, just days after another pod was seen off Martha’s Vineyard.
Marianne Sullivan shared a video with Boston 25 that showed a number of humpbacks feeding off Chatham, calling the wildlife encounter a “spectacular show.”
This latest whale sighting comes after aerial spotters with the New England Aquarium captured stunning photos of a group of humpbacks, including one of the most recognizable whales in New England, “bubble feeding” off Martha’s Vineyard on Aug. 14.
In a social media post, the Aquarium said, “It was a rare treat for our survey team to see this iconic female humpback!”
Colleen Flynn told Boston 25 that her son, his uncle, and a friend had left Plymouth for a day of fishing when they, too, came upon the feeding frenzy.
In an email, Flynn said, “It lasted as long as the video and then they went back down to surface again a bit further away. What an incredible experience!”
Earlier this summer, a pod of four killer whales was spotted swimming together in the waters off Nantucket.
