Hows this for a group:
Scientists refer to this behavior as Bubblenet feeding. I love that pic because you can actually see some Sardines and the bubbles the whales made still rising under the surface in the foreground.
It's a very different behavior then breaching where a Humpbacks jump up out of the water and land on their backs supposedly to knock off marine growth, crabs, and parasites.
Breaching is cool to see but you have to keep your distance as you never know when they will come up or where they will land. I know of some guys who were severely injured offshore fishing Albacore out of Morro Bay when a humpback breached and landed right on their boat.
