Humpbacks
They are gorgeous creatures. During our two month Broughton Archipelago cruise in 2006 as I was watching an adult and juvenile eagle fish the waters for salmon in the Queen Charlotte Strait, a large humpback whale (about 45 feet long and many tons) rises out of the water right next to our boat Belle-Vie (15 feet) to blow. His unexpected appearance surprised me almost to death, but I dashed for the camera to capture videos of him and many others that appeared in the following days. They are fascinating to watch.
