Been south watching Pacific Coast Feeding Group grays along Oregon Coast (some Sounders are PCFG whales) 🩶
Orcas have been sparse inland Puget Sound, but a few over-summering grays remain. Good strategy!

Hopefully soon J, K or L pods have reason (🐟🐟🐟) to return to their inland Puget Sound habitat. We ♥️ sunny days, but rivers need rain to call salmon home.

After their wonder-filled month spent inland Puget Sound the T36/36Bs headed north. Yesterday they were in Howe Sound, north of Vancouver BC. Fascinating to understand their range.

J pod moved up Admiralty Inlet in resting mode, awoke in a lively lovely breach-fest south of Bush Pt (Skunk Bay video), continued along Whidbey, exited inland Puget Sound waters, headed NW & ended their Friday off west San Juan Island at nightfall. ♥️
