Up Close with the Orcas

As mentioned in yesterday's post, here are the orcas we followed some forty minutes or so while enroute to Friday Harbor for a weekend getaway in the spring. Glistening in the sun, these magnificent creatures follow feeding patterns all through the Puget Sound waters. This particular group of whales is called JPod. More about the pods that make up the Southern Resident Community of orca whales can be found here. More photos here.
