This is a beautiful video. The guy was so close to the whales. It was the sight of a lifetime and he remembered to take pictures. I am glad he shared.

I wouldn't call it a feeding frenzy though. They seemed pretty calm.
It's amazing and such a treat -to be so close to these Orcas!
You're right, it's not such a 'frenzy' -just dinnertime!
I don't think Orcas do anything frenzied. They seem like pretty calm creatures. I would love to have been there to see them.
I agree with you both; that's not a feeding frenzy at all. It's all rather sedate. Indeed, one of the comments below said (you will appreciate this, Catherine), "If this is a 'frenzy' then they are good Canadian whales. That's about as frenzied as we Canadians get about anything. Thanks for a great video."
It's interesting that several people pointed out that the title of the video was not appropriate, and comments have now been disabled. But the video is interesting, nevertheless.
I am unsure really...but thought Orcas' main food was Krill...? I may be mixing that up with another species of Whale, though.
If so, it's strange that Krill would come into such an area.

They are quite polite aren't they. They seem to be taking turns feeding.
I think they were feeding on a school of fish. As the article LPC posted says, Orcas eat fish, seafood and sea mammals. I suspect they would eat sea birds if they got the chance.
I notice that they even found moose in an Orca stomach. It sounds like they will eat anything that comes their way. The moose probably drowned and was eaten. Moose are a big animal and they usually are not found in the ocean. They could be swimming from one island to another. The west coast is full of little islands.
