The T123’s and T124A’s Close to the Boat – 27/5/16
Aboard Eagle Wing Tours‘ catamaran, 4Ever Wild, I arrived on scene with the T123’s and T124A’s at approximately 5:45pm. Distant exhalations plumed in front of forested shoreline, and as we carefully approached the whales I picked out the distinctive fin of T123A, a sprouting male.

A Meeting of the Bigg’s (Transient) Killer Whale Matriarchs – 14/5/15
This was during a large congregation of Ts, there were at least 25 whales, likely more. They were split into groups that were roughly organized by age and gender, the adult males (T102, T100C, etc) were more-or-less on the outskirts of the entire thing, doing who knows what. There were two groups of predominantly calves…
