Obviously we have no way of knowing when they last saw one another but heartwarming to know they do greet one another and have "things to say" and activities to share when they come together. Honestly, the breaching and tail lobbing was endless. My only (selfish) wish is that they were closer in or at Lime Kiln.

7:47 - got to County Park a little after 7, looked like they were already well north could see far off distant blows, shimmering bodies and one spyhop. Northbound they go...unless

Great day with ALL of JPod, and the T65As...

One orca in Discovery Bay (5 miles west of Port Townsend). It seemed to be resting on the waters surface for over a minute. I could also see an aircraft carrier traveling south east through the strait (towards Everett? ) We were wondering if it came into our bay to get away from the carriers noise? It was between my house and Protection Island. After a minute or so, it swam down the bay a bit, dove a little, and exited the bay so close to the cape George shore that I could hear occasional blowing, but not see it. It was a terrific experience, but concerned for its safety/health.

1730 to 1830 - One Orca seen south side of Protection Island. Possible male due to size of dorsal fin. Appeared feeding, playing, traveling, etc., lots of back and forth action, no breaching.

Two females heading ESE. Location was due south of Seal Bay Provincial Park (across from Powell River in northern Georgia Strait). About 1/4 mile south. It is in the Salish Sea...north of Little River and Comox. Google earth 2350 Seabank road, Courtenay B.C. and it shows where the shore drops off. They were traveling on the high tide along the drop off.

L pod sighted off Tofino! As I am typing (10:18 pm) a group of 10-12 killer whales with open saddles are heading up the coast. The last report was 2.5 miles off sea lion rocks (long beach area). Rod wanted me to send a note. I am sure we will have a more detailed route and photos by the end of the day. Here are a couple of ID shots. The pod was spread out in a long line ranging from off Cleland island to off Tree island when I was out, and the skippers have reported that they are still spread out quite a ways and not moving very much at all. I am guessing there is between 15 and 20 in total. They look like southern residents because of that open saddle on the bull.
