Our destination was Canadian waters. That’s where we saw a pod of Biggs Orca.

We found ourselves back in USA waters as we viewed this pod of Orca. They gave us some great views as they made their way into USA waters.

We had a great time with these magnificent creatures. Several kills took place. They tortured and feasted on seals that got caught in their path.

We viewed a Humpback Whale delighted that Delighted us for a bit. Later on, we saw Stellar Sea Lions. I shot a big bull with my lens.  He is a massive, beautiful creature.

My shots of Immature Eagles and Transient Delights that made us smile today.  A couple with one of mom feeding her eaglet.

The harbor seals also known as Orca Sausages seemed especially cute today. The ones that were not caught anyway.

I shot a few pics of Tufted Puffin. I am including them here too.  This is one of my favorite birds. Maybe a tie with Red-Necked Phalarope. We have many beautiful seabirds here in the Salish Sea.
