Transient Orca Whales Feeding
Submitted by Island Adventures Whale Watching on Wed. Sep 09 2009"One never knows what is in store for the day and today was no exception. We left the dock and headed out into Rosario Strait when Captain Carl spotted 4 Orcas traveling near Williamson Rocks. It was about 12:45 PM and no one had spotted these four moving near Anacortes!! And a what a find they were. It was the T19 subpod of Transient Orcas comprised of T19 (the mom) and her 3 offspring including her sprouter male son T19B- who was tagged a year ago this month fairly close to where we found them today! Tightly grouped they zigged and zagged but continued south towards Lawson Reef.
