Morning encounter with J & K-pod & Gray Whale! Aug 28, 2010
Here are a few images from our excellent morning encounter with J & K-pod & Gray Whale!
We headed over towards Lime Kiln this morning after Ron Bates, MMRG, received reports that J & K-pod had been heard and seen off the west side of San Juan Island. When we arrived on scene we soon discovered that we had a large amount of Orcas moving up island.
We observed some high speed swimming (Porpoising) and some hunting for Salmon (foraging) as we followed the Orcas north.
During our morning tour we also encountered the Gray Whale on the East side of Discovery Island and our passengers were thrilled to see this Baleen Whale!
Two species of whale to start the day, not bad at all:)
