Orca River Otter Predation – 3/1/24
Well…predation or attempted predation. Today on the eastern shore of Whidbey Island we saw members of the T124As and T124Ds, chase a river otter. While Bigg’s orcas are marine mammal eaters, river otters aren’t usually on their diet, so this was unusual. We are still sorting through IDs, but I feel comfortable saying the T124A4s…

A Rare “T Party!” – 14/4/17
Today was an amazing day! We witnessed something pretty rare: a T party! (When we see several Pods of Bigg’s (Transients) Killer Whales together). We saw the T49A’s, T101, T100’s and T124A’s! They were very playful and breaching multiple times(I don’t think I ever saw a T breach before!) T49A1 and T102 swam so close…
