Orcas in Alaska!

June 19, 2006

This afternoon in Chatham Strait between Chichigof and Admiralty Islands in Southeast Alaska we encountered this group of resident Orcas. It was hard to know how many animals were in the group as they had spread out into a foraging formation across the channel. There was a beautiful new calf, still yellowish in color where white should be! When hard rain finally made us turn the adult bull in the group gave us an aloha breach!
