6/29/08 Orca and Minke Whales Sighted Today!
Stay tuned to the Whale Report for details on today's tour from Naturalist Jami Nagel! "9:30am trip: Wow, we finally found summer! The sun was bright and hot in the Islands today! We head out on the search for whales today, our first encounter was with a bald eagle right off the dock! Our route took us through the inner islands giving our guests beautiful views of the islands. We watched lazy harbor seals sunning themselves on the rocks and harbor porpoise playfully chasing fish. As we headed out to Hein bank we spotted looks of bird activity at the surface of the water and sure enough a Minke whale cruising for food! We got some great looks and photos too!
3:30pm trip: We headed out with reports that our Southern Resident Orcas were heading in from the west. We found the leaders of the group just SW of Victoria! J-pod was in the lead and we were treated to lots of porpoising (speed swimming) and even some breaching!! We also enjoyed a beautiful sherbet orange sunset and Rhinocerus Auklets flighting mouthfulls of bait fish back to their young! -Naturalist Jami Nagel
