J's with L57

The morning trip started with a wonderful encounter with J1 (Ruffles) and J2 (Granny) near False Bay along the West side of San Juan Island. The rest of the J's were spread out along the coastline of San Juan Island to Pile point; foraging, socializing, and travelling in smaller groups. The trailing group of J's had L57 (Faith), a male from the L pod, intermingling with J28 (Polaris)a female. Two mature bald eagles were viewed in Oak Bay sitting on top of a navigational light.

The afternoon trip had us viewing a small group of L's travelling with the J's heading North past Turn point on Stuart Island. The whales were travelling tightly next to one another in small little groupings. Here are some photos from the afternoon trip. Beautiful day in Haro Strait!
