Puffins and Minke Whales

Today's trip started with another sighting of a California sea lion hauled out on a Guemes Channel marker. Our next wildlife viewing was in Rosario Strait where we spotted several harbor porpoises. Next we stopped at Colville Island to view 40+ harbor seals hauled out on the rocks. We had a big group of bird watchers as passengers today and they must have brought us good bird luck because we spotted a pair of tufted puffins just after we watched the seals. A passenger asked me if this was a mated pair?

How You Can Help

Every one of us can make a difference. Pollution and lack of suitable food are the major factors that are threatening the Southern Resident Orca Whales.

Cleaning up the environment in which they live will not only promote their survival, but will benefit the entire ecosystem. There are many ways that you can help, and we hope that you do.
