2 video links below from our trip today on SuperCat. We spent the 2 trips off San Juan Island, with the L12's (Mega and family) and the L5's, whilst the rest of the southern residents were reportedly further north of Vancouver.

We were happy to see the research vessel pass by with a highly trained dog on board, one who's job is to sniff out whale poo, for collection and analysis. Data from samples will tell reseachers what the orca had been feeding on, which orca the sample was from (based on DNA) and also hormone levels in the animal! See below video to see the poop pooch!
