Orca Whales in Sight from Island Explorer 3!


J-Pod and some L-Pod Whales are being very active on this morning's tour! Click here to see where the Orca Whales are from space and stay tuned to the Whale Report for an update from Naturalist Jami Nagel! "We headed out today on our 9:30am trip with overcast skies that quickly turned to blue. Our route took us around the south end of Lopez Island were we took a peek between Castle Rock and Lopez to find Pigeon Guillemots feeding and sunning themselves on the rocks. We then headed to Swirl rocks were the harbor seals with their pups were hauled out. Not long after we were on scene with members of J, K and L Pods offshore of Eagle Point. We found a very active group! They were spyhopping, lunging, pec. slaps, cartwheels and lots of wrestling just under the surface. We were able to ID L57 Faith, J11 Blossom, J19 Princess Angeline, J27 Blackberry and K20 Spock w/ calf comet. On our way home we stopped to check out harbor seals at Colville and 2 mature bald eagles, most likely a mated pair! -Naturalist Jami Nagel
