The T101’s in Deception Pass! – 27/5/17
We made the trek all the way to Rosario Strait and found the T101s south of Deception Pass!

They were zigzagging back-and-forth in all directions throughout the encounter and they even passed by a small…

Pretty phenomenal encounter with Transients today. T102 and T137A swimming loops around the group of tail slapping, raspberry blowing, spyhopping juveniles and matriarchs. The lone, cryptic and mysterious nature of these guys was stripped away for brief while to reveal an intimate, social side to their nature. Incredible vocals ringing through the hydrophone, and fins…
