Two Transient Orca Whales Today

No Rain. Blue Sky. With a nip in the air. Off we went with guests from Denmark, Australia, Chicago and Seattle into Canadian waters near Cordova Bay. When we came on scene there were two transient orca whales. We thought it looked as if they had just killed a harbor seal and were eating what was left of it. That was at about 1400. They stayed in that area for at least half an hour, the time we were there. Usually transients are busy traveling. Near our boat, a small (probably immature) harbor seal popped up-an appetizer to a transient killer whale. We also saw numerous, the usual non indigenous, sheep and deer that inhabit Speiden Island and there was an immature bald eagle perched right on the ledge close to the water. We had some great looks at it. Two Stellar Sea Lion were seen on our trip today also, both were solo.
