Busy and.....not so busy.


Hello,

It has been a strange July.

The whales have been in and out of the trans-boundry area over the last 2 weeks. All 3 pods took off and spent some time near Neah Bay last week and have apparently left again today.

We had a couple of close encounters at the lighthouse when they were here, including a nice double spyhop pictured above. It is J22 and her calf J38.

We also got this really great shot of a killer whale as it looked at Amanda. If you look closely you can see the animals iris!


We did have a minor mishap this day as well. The wind blew our video camera over, causing it crash against the sharp rocks. To make matters worse it even landed in a tide pool!
Goodbye camera. It is the first time we lost a piece of equipment to the elements in the field in over 7 years of work.

Talk to you again soon.

J
