Bigg's T34s 36s 37s 46s and Black Oystercatcher Chicks

A beautiful day with Bigg’s T34s 36s 37s 46s and Black Oystercatcher Chicks. I was afraid the falcon had gotten the chicks but I saw one today and hoping there are more.

We spent most of our tour today just shutdown watching a nature show right before us. There was a lot of socializing and some mating activity taking place between the pods. For more than an hour they didn’t move a bit, just tail lobbing, rolling over each other, and enjoying each other’s company being very playful.

We had members from multiple pods. I shied a couple of fast running boats from going over them. Also hollered at a sailboat under power that he was too close to the whales. He veered away and seemed to get the message and was following me but when the whales popped up with a hard left close by, I shut down but he kept motoring along with the whales as close as 25 yards from him. He didn’t get it.
