We headed around the south end of Lopez Island and caught up with J-pod just pass Iceberg Pt, Lopez Island. It was like they were waiting for us to arrive. As we came on scene we had 2 youngsters breaching over and over again. We stayed with this group which had Oreo, Doublestuff, Cookie and Eclipse in it. We also had Blossom, Mako and Tsuchi. As we moved away from the group and repositioned ourselves the youngsters caught up with us this time doing several cartwheels and getting one of the older females to breach several times in a row!! Today was a phenomenal day with J-pod. After that amazing look at J-pod we didn't think it could get any better...but it did!!! We were heading through the inter-islands when we spotted a blow in the distance up San Juan channel near Friday Harbor. As we moved up the channel to check it out we discovered it was a juvenile humpback! We had some amazing Fuke shots and some great Id shots for Cascadia! Today turned out to be a double header. We also saw several bald eagles, Rhinoceros auklets, pigeon guillemots, harbor porpoise, harbor seals and a river otter."-Naturalist Jami Nagel
