Ruffles Sprout ?


L Pod Male Orca Surfacing
Originally uploaded by Jeff Lorton.
In the afternoon, came a big surprise as more killer whales appeared out of the south west from the direction of the ODAS Bouy:

At first the animal pictured was thought to be J1 but it soon became clear that this was another small goup of L pod that must have split off to the west late Sunday night. I thought it was J1 when I first saw him at a distance but most on the water belived this was L73 after some opportunity to observe him. I did not get a good ID shot.

Best,
Jeff
