Pacific Whale Watch Association

Several vocal pods of transient killer whales in Juan De Fuca strait the other day. We were able to identify T18, T19, T30, T49's pods.

Several very vocal transient killer whale pods in western Haro Strait. Members from T30, T86, T90, T100, T101, T02, and T124's were present including the baby from T100 pod.

Captain Brian just reported back from today's whale watch trip this afternoon, and he described it as "one of his Top 3 wildlife encounters- ever!" The boat left Roche Harbor, San Juan Island and headed out in search of the transient Orcas that were in the area. Upon arriving they saw harbor porpoises "everywhere" and Brian and Kendall were on the alert and watching the hunting transient whales. Suddenly both transients dived down and disappeared. Everyone was scanning the waters, looking madly for the whales. Brian heard a splash, but when he looked two porpoises were missing.

Small transient Orca pod seen just off Saanich this afternoon. Two adults and one young calf were seen hunting harbor seals. Identification of the pod was unknown. Blue skies and calm seas meant a beautiful day!

Transient Orca pods T10 and T26 were hunting and killing harbour seals in Satellite Channel and then off Pat Bay in the Saanich Inlet. We watched two kills and left them south bound down the inlet heading towards Goldstream Park.
