Bigg’s (Transients) in Plumper Sound – 10/6/14
Well our “resident Biggs”, T65A’s, were kicking ass again today!! Only the second time I’ve seen whales in Plumper Sound and they were just hammering a seal! Amazing to see the power these animals can display and really cool to see T65A cruising in circles with T65A5 around the other whales hunting the seal. A…
