🚨❤️Wildlife Appreciation Post❤️🚨
There is SO. MUCH. to watch for when out tour, and over this past week the diversity was astounding. From the intertidal creatures (ochre sea stars), to the seabirds (tufted puffins), up to the whales, every trip is unique and exciting.

We had an amazing look at Bigg’s killer whale families the T65As and T64Bs hunting a California sea lion on 5.28.26. This is T65A4 “Ellifrit” with a dolphin leap as she tries to make contact with that sea lion. The sea lion dodged and can be seen just behind her in the last two frames! If you scroll quickly through the photos (in order) it’s almost like you were there!

It's the last week of Minke May! Reaching roughly 30 ft. (~9.1 m) in length and weighing up to 10 tons, minke whales are the smallest baleen whales in the northern hemisphere, and second smallest baleen whales on earth. Only the pygmy right whale is smaller at approximately 20 ft. (6 m) and 7,500 lbs. (~3,400 kg).

It has been a fruitful and busy Memorial Day long weekend! Lots of different Bigg’s killer whale family groups have been in our area—several of them with their large adult sons in tow. The T19 brothers “Spouter and Galiano” (first photo) and T123A Stanley (second photo) are regional favorites, and we also saw the T64Bs, T65As, and T100s in the last four days.
If you haven’t gotten out on the water this season, you should!! 😏

Over the weekend we spent time with killer whales and a couple gray whales down in the Admiralty Inlet (northern Puget Sound area). A distance for us to go, for sure, but we try our best to get to where the whales are, and Sunday was no different. With the low tides this weekend, too, we were treated to the sight of many ochre sea stars—something not typical unless the tide is just right!

Seeing whales is ALWAYS amazing, but finding them along evergreen shorelines on overcast days is something otherworldly with soft light and visible exhalations. On Friday May 15th, our tour found us in the heart of the San Juans with the Wasp Islands as the beautiful backdrop, and we spent time with Bigg’s killer whale families the T90s (4) and the T124A4s (3). Not far from there, we also encountered humpback whale “Scuttle.” A wonderful tour, indeed.

A “fan favorite” Bigg’s killer whale family group was in range for both our morning and afternoon tours this past Saturday, May 9th. T137A “Jack” was tail slapped and receiving responses from his sister, T137B “Tempest,” before picking up some speed and moving N, NW into Saratoga Passage from Holmes Harbor. Always a treat to see that iconic dorsal fin and watch this family of four, lead by matriarch T137 “Loon.”
