April 1st 2011 Transient Orcas
Submitted by Ocean Ecoventures on Sat. Apr 02 2011We had transient orcas 10 minutes from our office today! There were three family groups the T100's, T124's and the T90's totaling 11 whales. It was great to see T90c a calf born 7 months ago looking healthy and boisterous. It was a quiet day on the water and we found ourselves watching the orcas with no other boats for most of our tour. We had a great steller sea lion encounter along with bald eagles and harbour seals.

Mallard ended up finding these guys right outside the harbour off McCauley Point. They just finished a kill as a smell and sheen was present. T49's X 6 and the bull T103 were present, moving SE at about 8 knots. Lots of playful Dall's porpoise in Haro strait along with several feeding Stellar sea lions.

We watched transient pod T49 along with T14 hunt and kill harbour porpoise in southern Haro Strait. Seemed to be teaching the calf (T49b) to pursue and catch prey.
