THURSDAY, APRIL 30, 2009, MINKE WHALE & DALL'S PORPOISE
What a beautiful day in Victoria, B.C.! Afternoon temperatures approached 17 C (60 F). A fine way to finish off April.
Flat calm seas brought up ideal viewing conditions, and near Discovery Island we caught a glimpse of the same Minke Whale that we had seen yesterday.
Further into Haro Strait we saw very playful Dall's Porpoise, "rooster-tailing" through the water at speeds approaching 20 knots (35 kph). Close-up views were a blur! We are lucky to have two good photographs.
