@orcabehaviorinstitute.orgDuring the first weekend of October we encountered a "herd" of humpbacks numbering in the hundreds.
It's impossible to capture such a sight in photos, videos, or words for that matter! But Jason made a valiant attempt in this beautiful video compilation from our treks west.

@photogsteve81.bsky.socialGov. Bob Ferguson and Ecology Director Casey Sixkiller say they are "disappointed" after Canada fast-tracked the Pacific Link oil pipeline. They warn it would double Canadian crude moving through Haro Strait and bring supertankers to the Salish Sea.

@orcabehaviorinstitute.orgGot to meet the newest member of the T36A1s today! This little one, who has received the designation T36A1B from Bay Cetology, was first documented on September 26th and appears to be a few weeks old.

@orcabehaviorinstitute.orgMy favorite dynamic duo - T49A2 Jude and his uncle T49C Neilson - were on an absolute rampage this afternoon off Orcas Island. At a minimum, we think they took 4 seals over the course of 50 minutes! 😳

@kboyd.phpc.social.ap.brid.gyOkay, well, that was unexpected. Nothing seems to have happened to the code.
But, at around the same time, my sailing co-op's boat had an encounter with a rock. It's currently stranded until 5pm's high tide.
Which means it's once more time for me to use a particular gif.
@edwiebe.scribili.masto.host.ap.brid.gy"The discoveries mark the first new sea spider species formally described from the #SalishSea in nearly 100 years."
The headline is ridiculous.

@orcabehaviorinstitute.orgThe T19s are changing their status from San Juan Spring whales to San Juan September whales! 🍂
We've had several encounters with them this month, including this evening right outside Friday Harbor where T19B Galiano did a spyhop next to his brother T19C Spouter.
