This afternoon we encountered a large amount of Resident Orcas forming a Superpod south of Seabird heading towards San Juan Island. The Orcas were spread out in matralines and many seemed to be in a playful mood :) We got to see so many spyhops today I lost count! We also got to see many tail slaps, tail lobs, cart wheels, and other playful behavior as the Orcas socialized. A Superpod is when we have all three pods, J, K & L together in the same area and is always such a thrill to see. We may not have had every single Resident Orca but we know we definitely had a good 60 plus Orcas out there :)
We also got to see Seals and Porpoise during this afternoon’s incredible tour. If you would like to see more images from today please click on the link below;
