The newest cutie in the Bigg's orca population, their family, & T137s continued their inland Puget Sound stay yesterday. Little one continues traveling w/Tierna (T036A1), but official ID designation still to come.

There were orcas yesterday around Whidbey, but reports were few. Perhaps whoever they were stayed overnight.

New calf at T36A1's side continues their 1st foray in their Puget Sound home waters. Official ID to come, but likely is Tierna's 2nd. Per Bart Rulon: "...still fetal folds visible on the dorsal fin so this calf is probably only days or weeks old".
