THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 3, 2009, MORNING TRIP with Transient (Marine-Mammal-Eating) Killer Whales T 31, T 11 & T11A
Do you know how lucky we at Five Star Whale Watching are to come to work each day not knowing what we are going to show our passengers...but knowing that it will be something wonderful, even if we know know the specifics.
Will today we have Transient (Marine-Mammal-Eating) Killer Whales?
Resident (Fish-Eating) Killer Whales?
Minke Whales? Humpback Whales? Gray Whales?
Steller or California Sea Lions? Harbour or Dall's Porpoise?
Northern Elephant Seals? Bald Eagles? Harbour Seals?
Even on the very rare day when we don't see a whale there is the mystery, drama or intrigue of why didn't we see them?
This morning we headed out with a report, unconfirmed, of a lone Killer Whale moving away from us out to the West past Race Rocks Marine Protected Area. That animal turned out to be T 31, a large male Transient (Marine-Mammal-Eating) Killer Whale. On our way there we found two more Killer Whales, T 11 and T 11A, also Transient (Marine-Mammal-Eating) Killer Whales searching for seals, porpoise or sea lions to eat.
