J Pod, Some L’s and other wildlife. Wow, what a day. I woke up at 0600, opened my iPhone app to listen to the hydrophone on the west side of the island. Then I fell back asleep and woke up to J Pod vocals loud and clear on the hydrophone.
It was going to be a great day. We have not had the Southern Resident Killer Whales around much in the last couple years but I knew we would see them today and that we did.
On our tours, we saw Princess Angeline J17 with her calf Kiki. Then we saw J26 Mike and L87 Onyx. There were several others too. The seas and wind were a bit rough today. It was a genuinely special day seeing our residents.
A couple pics of a Bald Eagle having already eaten a fish but not yet ready to let go of the head. I am not even sure what kind of fish it was. It kinda looks like a Rat Fish but hard to tell.
Also saw a few Stellar Sea Lions and one showed us his teeth and WOW does he need to see the Dentist.
A few exotic animals and a pretty good day with J Pod, Some L’s and other wildlife. Even though the rain and seas were not so good.
