Sighting Report for May 22, 2017
Happy Victoria Day!! (May22) It was one great day to be on the water with not a cloud in the sky and not a breeze of wind either. Throw in a few individual humpbacks and large group of Bigg's orca in the area and its a great day at "the office". No other word for it but spoilt!
The large group of Bigg's orca consisted of the T124s, T86s and the large long male T87 - whom can be quite elusive and shy when it comes to his space. The large group slowly cruised north up Haro Strait whilst foraging on marine mammals throughout the day.
A shot from Capt. Tom with the Bigg's orca just after they finished snacking on a harbour seal. The Island in the background is Pender Island.
