Transient Orca T-14 "Pender"


Transient Orca T-14 "Pender"
Originally uploaded by Jeff Lorton.
Pender is an old friend. He has been cruising the inside waters since he was born in 1964. Often sighted alone he occasionally surprises by showing up with odd companions as is the case this week. An old BC hand like Pender hanging out with
another Male of similar age and a nine year old whale of unknown sex. Perhaps he's playing tour guide. If I was a gambling man I'd bet $100 Canandian dollars that the young animal turns out to be a "sprouter" soon. Perhaps we'll see him again in the future, leading his own family through T-14's old territory.
