Many folks along miles of beaches and bluffs have enjoyed two full days with orcas in Puget Sound and Admiralty Inlet for New Year's Eve and New Year's Day. J and K pods even partied with the revelers on boats in Elliot Bay just before midnight Dec. 31. Hazy gray skies diffused the lighting on the 30-40 orcas, spread from shore to shore on glassy water from Admiralty Inlet to Elliott Bay, then back up Admiralty the next day, spread out for miles, scanning every nook and cranny in the canyons beneath the waves, in ones and twos and small groups, foraging, cartwheeling, tail-lobbing, surfing, and occasionally just logging.
Only a few Bigg's/Transient whales have been seen lately, but don't miss the Coastal Orca reports below to hear about some unusual action out in the Pacific.
There are still seats for the 2014 Ways of Whales Workshop in Coupeville, Whidbey Island, on January 25. You can register for Ways of Whales HERE.

Southern Resident orcas
|
January 3rd, 2014 by Chris Dunagan
Killer whale researchers are using satellites to track the movements of J pod this year, as part of an ongoing effort to understand where Puget Sound's orcas travel in winter.
The day after Christmas, a satellite transmitter was attached to L-87, a 22-year-old male. The whale, named "Onyx," has been traveling with J pod for at least three years.
Researchers caught up with the pod Dec. 26 in the Strait of Juan de Fuca, where the satellite tag was attached by shooting a dart into L-87's dorsal fin.

Just spent 4 1/2 hours at Ft. Casey, waiting for the whales, then watching a lovely group (10-12+?) finally group up and meander by Ft. Flagler, in front of the ferry (it had to stop), and past Pt. Townsend...they were very slow, zig-zagging back and forth at the south end of Marrowstone....a few nice views of a big male right in front of beautiful Mt. Rainer....quite a few breaches, tail slaps, etc....very lovely, but a long day....saved from starving with a granola bar from Alisa Lemire Brooks...thanks!!! A big crowd of orca-holics there, and a few people who were having their very first encounter! Also heard there was a protest at the Rose Parade by the SeaWorld float....good!!! NOAA boat on scene all day as well.

It was an amazing afternoon watching orcas from east side of marrowstone and from fort flagler with lots of other watchers. we saw one spy-hop and a few breaches. I jumped up and down like a giddy boy when I saw the breaches! you may have heard me screaming and hollering all the way over at bush point. what a GLORIOUS treat to see them on this first day of 2014!
Shane Farnor

2:30pm - Leaving Fort Flagler but whales still slowly moving north past the light house mid channel. Some foraging. NOAA with them.
Sara Hysong-Shimazu
January 1
Ft Flagler 2:30 - looks like they have finally all headed north of us. Very slow, leisurely travel with lots of foraging behavior. Hope they are getting lots to eat. Jamie said urgently - what was that? Turn around! We turned, and there in my Binoculars were three black dorsals, and their blows. It was the most beautiful day, as I spent it watching them leisurely travel north, first from Point No Point, then all afternoon from Fort Flagler with friends on both side of the sound. I was once again reminded what a special place this is, and it's our responsibility to keep it that way. No one else is going to do it - WE have to do it.

New Year's Day - what a start to the New Year! J and K pods in Admiralty Inlet ALL day, mostly well spread out, grouping up occasionally. With Howie Garrett on board, they kept us guessing as they headed slowly north, sometimes milling, sometimes turning back south, frequently zig-zagging across the glassy water of the shipping lanes. Passengers on board the Port Townsend ferry enjoyed a rare treat with spy-hops, breaches, cart-wheels, tail-slaps, a little logging and a spot of surfing. We heard some 'raspberry' blowing among surface chitter-chatter. Wishing our precious Southern Residents safe passage through the months ahead.

December 31
New years eve 23.30 to 23.45 in Elliott bay just NW of pier 70, a pod of at least 4 Orcas swam along with the sail boat as we navigated through the party boats. We had opted to sail in the light wind while waiting for the fireworks. They appeared and seemed to follow around the boat as we transitioned through the party boats till we reached clear(er) water. Then we saw them no more. They appeared to be swimming calmly around us as we traveled at about 3 knots. We saw 4 fins at one time, but the pod was probably larger than that. We saw several tale flukes and heads. They seemed calm. Their accompaniment lasted about 15 min. We gave notice to the other mariners of their presence on Marine VHF Ch 16.

Rebecca Sherwood reported being visited by 8-10 orcas in Elliot Bay while aboard their boat for New Years Eve celebrations last night at 11:30pm. She reports they saw the pod leaving them heading to the north. Everyone keep your eyes on the water and let us know if you catch sight of the whales. Fog has lifted in some areas revealing a beautiful New Years day.
December 31
New Year's Eve Orcas. The 11:35 p.m. sailing from Bainbridge to Seattle was filled with New Year's revelers and slowed for much of the sailing for orcas reported in the area. One passenger I spoke to saw at least 3 fins. A great way to end 2013.
Cathy Warner
December 31
I too was on a boat in Elliott bay last night. Right at midnight an entire pod started swimming around us. It was the best way I could have imagined to ring in the new year!

Jim Barrett
December 31
And again, at about 11:45, when we were SURE they had all passed, I saw a big male fairly close to the Whidbey side. But we both looked for the last 15 - 20 minutes and have not seen another side of him - he must have gone into "Stealth whale" as Mike & Suzanne used to say of Luna. But he's out there somewhere, should be between Mutiny Bay & Foulweather Bluff by now, or maybe a bit south.
11 am - just as we thought they had all passed by, another group just showed up off south Bush Pt, with another male and several females so far. Saw a neat line up with a breaching whale on one end of it earlier, wonderful whale watching today, most close enough to hear.
Also saw two pods of porpoise traveling NW close to shore, just south of Bush Pt.
Orca Network
December 31
10:50 - Close to N side of Mutiny Bay now heading south.
Jim Barrett
December 31
10:41 - We saw the whales from Bush Point, there was a group very close to shore, spread out in small groups! Our family was able to get some video! I was going NUTS!!! I have been watching and listening for three days waiting for them!!!!!! Happy New Year!

8:22 - WA State Ferries called to report about 20 orcas spread out in the Port Townsend/Keystone ferry lane, just milling, no direction of travel was obvious, but Lagoon Point and Bush Point folks please check out the water this morning.
December 30
A buddy who is a floatplane pilot saw them between Porlier and Sandheads... We picked them up about 1.5 miles NW of Active Pass. Got to see J and K pod go south through Active Pass for the first time in 12 years. I have seen L Pod do it a couple of times but have NEVER had J's and K's do it. So awesome and super active when they exited into Swanson.

Coastal orcas
|
January 2Orcas, along with gray whales and other whales and dolphins, have been everywhere off Southern California in recent days, as told in this highly informative article:
Killer Season: Record numbers of gray whales, orcas arrive in South Bay watersThis holiday season, whale researcher Alisa Schulman-Janiger got precisely what she wished for. On Dec. 23, the sun was shining on the South Bay, and the beaches were crowded with people enjoying a mid-winter wave of summer heat. Aboard a boat off the shore of Redondo Beach, Schulman-Janiger was experiencing a moment most humans never will. Looming large, its body upright and arising from the ocean's surface, a female orca peered into her eyes. The encounter was, for Schulman-Janiger, a gift of the most extraordinary kind. January 1
I'm a commercial fisherman in Northern California and we recently video taped a pod of Orca Whales attacking two Blue Whales in shallow water and presumably a calf as well. If you would like footage of this please respond. The footage is not great and was filmed with a cell phone at a distance, but imagine you can zoom in and possibly identify some of the whales in the video. Gary Ogle December 29
Orca disguised as driftwood.December 29, 2013, I was sitting by the window at Fely's Restaurant at Sportshaven Beach, Brookings-Harbor, Oregon 97415. The ocean there was calm, with swells, maybe around 4 ft., some sets of larger 6 ft. swells. I was watching what seemed to be a driftwood log that always stayed in the part of the wave that rises up high just before it breaks. It was drifting SE in line with the beach. I wondered if that was really driftwood because some of it projecting out of the water seemed to move slightly. It featured something like a knobby thing sticking up a bit in front, a much higher curving backwards fin shape on top, and some funny looking things sticking up a bit in back. It seemed about 8-10 ft. long. It resembled a driftwood piece of tree battered, with broken limbs, black in color. It is not strange to see driftwood that looks like it has a dorsal fin, but when it floated upwards to the peak of a much larger wave, I saw an oblong white thing that shone in the sunlight, resembling the oblong face mask of a snorkeler. It could not be that. And the black shape had some white showing on the underside. I heard seals barking nearby as this is near the mouth of the Chetco River. Drifting along in the place where the waves rise up the highest, another larger wave showed there sure was an oblong white patch shining in front, and some white on its belly, and it adjusted to that wave as it started to break. I thought that is either some funny driftwood, or a predator disguised as driftwood. A woman was walking along the sidewalk, as though she did not see anything different or exciting. I looked at something else, maybe my coffee. I wondered if I should go out to get a closer look. When I looked back, the "driftwood" had completely disappeared, not washed on the beach or anywhere. Then, I saw two seals diving into a wave around the place I had last looked. Today I searched for what orcas look like, and the horizontal oblong white eye patch gave it away. It is most interesting that an orca seemed to be deliberately staying still to resemble driftwood and deliberately drifting along where the waves were highest before breaking in order to observe everything going on along the beach, people, people with dogs, cars, RV's, restaurant, as well as anything going on with seals. The predator disguised as driftwood suddenly disappeared probably in pursuit of the seals. Donna Goss

ABOUT ORCA NETWORK
Orca Network is a 501 c3 nonprofit organization, dedicated to raising awareness about the whales of the Pacific Northwest, and the importance of providing them healthy and safe habitats.
Orca Network's Whale Sighting Network involves citizens in helping researchers track the movement of whales, and encourages people to observe whales from their homes, businesses, ferries, and beaches.
Whale reports are sent in to our Sighting Network and emailed out to researchers, agencies, and citizens on our network, and posted on our website (MAP of sightings also on website). Whale reports and observations are sent in by a variety of sources, and Orca Network does not guarantee the accuracy of any report or whale identification.
TO REPORT WHALES, CALL: 1-866-ORCANET (1-866-672-2638), email info@orcanetwork.org, or post sightings on our Orca Network Facebook page.
*BE WHALE WISE! BOATERS - NEW FEDERAL REGULATIONS IN EFFECT AS OF MAY 16, 2011:
"The new rules prohibit vessels from approaching any killer whale closer than 200 yards and forbid vessels from intercepting a whale or positioning the vessel in its path. This doubles the current approach distance of 100 yards. The rules go into effect May 16 and apply to all types of boats, including motor boats, sail boats and kayaks, in Washington"
For more information on the new Federal Regulations, visit the NOAA Fisheries website.
To report harassment of whales in US waters, call NOAA Enforcement: 1-800-853-1964;
