April 18th – Transient Orcas

Transient Orcas

For the second day in a row we encountered Transient Orcas at Hein Bank! The Orcas were soon identified as the TO65A’s, TO75, TO75B’s and TO75C1. This included the brand new Transient Orca baby T75B2 that is only a week old We were fortunate to get a call just after we left the harbour that Orcas had been spotted once again at Hein Bank so off we headed. The Orcas were in close formation and traveling north whilst we were on scene with them. We got some nice views of TO75B2 and the pod swam by and the baby was sticking close to  the mothers side.

Apart from the Orcas we also saw Harbor Porpoise and Harbor Seals as well as Bald Eagles. It was another wonderful day on the Salish Sea!
