Orcas Again!!!

Today we saw the largest member of the dolphin family, orcas! These animals are super intelligent and beautiful. We located J-pod, 1 mile south of Cattle point heading west. We did see a calf! The whales were tail slapping and spy hopping, it was fantastic. We also placed the hydrophone in the water and could hear J-pod communicating. This is something everyone should see and hear!!! On the way back to Friday Harbor we located a bald eagle in its nest on the south side of Spiden island. The mofloun sheep were out grazing as well on Spiden. Overall it was a great day for whales and wildlife viewing...
