Late in the day we located J pod travelling South in Rosario Strait there was a number of unidentified whales and we realized that this was a group of transients trailing J pod, perhaps a hunting strategy? The transients later showed up in Haro Strait near Henry Island travelling north. The Male is T87. Photos by Brian Glennon , Killerwhale.ca

Southern Residents , Georgia Strait
J Pod made another appearance today , they were last seem heading toward the Fraser River after cruising the Gulf Islands for the day. They seem to really love getting through Active Pass and entering the Strait , always lots of breaching and purcussive behavior. With the exception of several B.C. Ferries running over the whales it was a beautiful evening again, Photos by Brian Glennon

Evening with the J's

J Pod , Pelicans
J Pod showed up near San Juan Island early in the day and puttered around in the area for the entire day. The new calf (J42 ) is very active and is taking long dives ( in excess of 2 minutes ) with his mother. The family was very vocal today , several times I had to turn down my hydrophone because I thought the speaker might blow !
Several rare bird sightings today as well. A tufted puffin and several brown pelicans. We seem to be getting these birds with increasing frequency . They are always a treat to see. Photos by Brian Glennon KillerWhale.ca

Wild Weather
It was a hard day on the water . We has a Minke whale circle the boat several times near Moresby Island , rather unusual but very elusive. Lots of racing Dalls porpoise in Boundary Bay . No sign of Jpod and the new calf , hopefully tomorrow. It was very rough on the return trip to Victoria. Tough day for photography as fear of getting your gear soaked was very real. A complimentary saltwater facial rejuvenator was included free of charge.(see photo)
