An Incredible Day on the Water with 5 Families of Bigg’s (Transient) Killer Whales! – 7/9/15
This was an incredible day on the water. We had at least 5 families (T36, T36Bs, some of the T99s, T100s, T101s, and T137s) of these marine mammal eaters interacting together for hours. They were rolling around together at the surface, vocalizing like crazy (which is something Bigg’s Orca rarely do ever, let alone belt…

Phenomenal Bigg’s (Transient) Encounter! – 26/8/15
Pretty phenomenal encounter with Transients today. T102 and T137A swimming loops around the group of tail slapping, raspberry blowing, spyhopping juveniles and matriarchs.

An Unbelievable Evening with Bigg’s (Transient) Killer Whales! – 21/8/15
Unbelievable evening! Heading home after watching residents off San Juan Island and we bumped into the the T18’s and T100’s in the Strait of Georgia. They all split up and then BAM! Simultaneous porpoise kills! We hung out with T19C and T100C most of the time….they were REALLY pumped up! It’s amazing to see how…
