Transient T-14 (PENDER) Porpoising

This shot, taken on Aug. 23rd shows the robust nature of the Transient eco-type of Orca that frequent the Strait of Juan de Fuca
Mid August is typically when the largest number of new seals are in the area and male sea lions are also returning to Race Rocks. A researcher friend said he would bet money that Transient Orca would show up in the eastern part of the strait by Aug. 15th. He was right on the money.

Pender is looking pretty good for a fella in his early forties.

Best,
Jeff
