Resident Orcas near San Juan Island! May 8th, 2012

Here are a few images by Ron Bates, MMRG, from today's encounter with members of Jpod! Today was the 5th day in a row that we had seen whales, which means good news for whale watchers as the Orcas are beginning to settle back into the area.

As the salmon start to return to the local rivers, the Resident Orcas that feed on the salmon start to get into a routine and sightings become more regular.
